Opis

Carved stonework from before the Norman Conquest is a rare survival. This volume provides an authoritative listing, description, and illustration of sculptures in Derbyshire and Staffordshire, and the historical background. The book demonstrates how this material can illuminate an obscure and under-investigated period in Anglo-Saxon history.

Recenzje

There is much useful material here, not least the discussions of the Historical Background (Barbara Yorke), Anglian Period Sculpture (Hawkes) and Scandinavian Period Sculpture (Sidebottom).
