Bøger af Gary Vikan

Graceland is much more than a wildly popular tourist destination associated with a famous entertainer, and Elvis Presley is much more than the King of Rock 'n' Roll. This title posits that Graceland, the second-most-visited historic house in the United States, is a locus sanctus - a holy place - and Elvis is its resident saint.

In these studies Gary Vikan has opened new perspectives on the daily life and material culture of Late Antiquity - more specifically, on icons and relics and on objects revealing of the world of pilgrimage, the early cult of saints and marriage.
