Immaculate Conceptions examines devotional writings, religious and literary texts, and visual art that feature the mystery of the immaculacy of the Virgin Mary in the culture of early modern Spain. The author's analysis is motivated by the complexity and multivalent capacity of the doctrine and its icon at a time when the debates around Mary's conception imbued all levels of religious and social life. She considers the many interests - political, doctrinal, artistic, and gender-driven - that intersect and compete in the exegesis and textual and visual representations of the Immaculate Conception. She argues that the Immaculate Conception of Mary proved to be a fertile conceptual and ideological field wherein the identities of the Spanish state, local communities, and individuals were negotiated, variously defined, and contested.
