Publisher's Synopsis

In 1879 local people reported an apparition of the Virgin Mary and other supernatural personages at Knock, a poor rural village in western Ireland. In contrast to devotional or dismissive accounts, the author draws on insiders' views and his training to show how the apparition was related to the local social context.
