This book interrogates post-Roman art, arguing for aesthetic variety as a cross-cultural concept in early medieval Europe and the Mediterranean.

Recenzje

'It is just beautiful to see someone acknowledge and explore the vast treasure trove that is Early Medieval art and archaeology, with new questions and ideas in mind. The book is aesthetically pleasing and readable; deep without dragging. It is a new staple for Early Medieval archaeology and art history.' Anna Flückiger, Antiquity
