Content:
"In conventional Christian terms, Diana was of course no saint. Yet Diana's status as an icon, before and especially after her tragic death, resonates beatitude. In this thoughtful, illuminating work, cultural critics across disciplines take Diana's 'sainthood' as their motif and explore the nature and source of her iconic role." "Diana, it is argued, attained her popular saintly status because she seemed to represent and enshrine values with which huge numbers were able to sympathise. The contributors identify and examine Diana's sainthood, with all its attendant controversies and contradictions."--Jacket
