Brown, Joan Gibbs This volume contains 13 papers on the interaction of English and Continental medieval art, and the diversity and significance of Continental influences on the development of English style. FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description This series is designed to make accessible the insights, discoveries, and considered judgements in the field of medieval art of Francis Wormald (1904-72)--one of the great paleographers of our time. This second volume collects thirteen important and hard-to-find papers on such subjects as "Continental Influence on English Medieval Illumination," "The Fitzwarin Psalter," and "The Wilton Diptych." Long Description 'For the whole of the Middle Ages' says Francis Wormald, 'the British Isles stood on the edge of a great ocean, on the furthest tip of the world as it were, and like some lonely beach many and interesting things arrived on its shores.' It is the interaction of English and Continental medieval art, and the diversity and significance of mainland European influences on the development of English style that provide the main theme of the papers gathered in this volume. Although the topics covered include some discussions of the great Anglo-Saxon and Romanesque illuminated manuscripts on which Wormald is still considered the authority, the emphasis of the collection is, however, on his work in later medieval art - in manuscripts, seals, paintings and carvings. The editors have brought all bibliographic references up to date, citing the most recent scholarship in each particular subject. This two-volume publication collects from many different sources an important group of writings by Francis Wormald (1904-1972), whose great contribution to medieval studies owes its originality and distinction to the unrivalled understanding of manuscripts, of all kinds and of all periods.
