Research Assignment 1.4: A Bibliography of Secondary Sources

After exploring the realm of primary sources, I am now charged with reporting what I can find in terms of secondary sources. Using what I can locate in databases such as JSTOR, EBSCO, and ITER, I have attempted to narrow the list to those which are most pertinent. Some of these sources are not in English, but I did my best to find the most significant and relevant modern secondary sources on the subject of St. Agnes or the larger scope of female or virginal saints. Furthermore, many of these sources are focused on works of art, architecture, poetry, etc. which were created to celebrate the saint or tell her story. Where possible, I have also obtained a stable domain or web address to locate these works.

That said, my bibliography:
