    Dissertation: Chains of Virtue: Seventeenth-century Saints in Spanish Colonial Lima. Seventeenth-century hagiography of saints in Peru reflects the Spanish colony’s growing independence and changing missionary strategies. The Lives of seven saints offer evidence for scholarly reassessment of saints’ roles in Early Modern society and challenge assumptions about the impact of seventeenth-century canonization reforms.
