The following is a selected bibliography to which I will add more as time permits. I do not agree with the premise or conclusions of many of these works but the authors opinions and insights should not be disregarded.
Not all these books are directly relevant to the Magdalene, but they are of historical interest relating to the times. Recognized works of fiction are marked with a * (it is arguable whether the Bible and such books are to be considered works of fiction or mythology; I will leave that for you to decide).
