Diana, the Making of a Media Saint by Jeffrey Richards

Diana, Princess of Wales, was no saint in the conventional Christian sense. Yet her status as an icon since her death is unequalled in British popular culture and images of her resonate beatitude. In this work, cultural critics discuss the myth of Diana - her work, her appeal, and her iconicity for scholars and general readers alike. They consider the Diana phenomenon as a symptom of the modern approach to religion, review television and cinema's role in casting her as an icon, and study her symbolic status in relation to national and ethnic identities.
