The question of the medieval representation of women is illuminated by a study of the...

In the present volume, the two essays that frame the book provide exciting insight into the mental world of the Anglo-Saxons by showing on the one hand how they understood the processes of reading and assimilating knowledge and, on the other, how they conceived of time and the passage of the seasons. In the field of art history, two essays treat two of the best-known Anglo-Saxon manuscripts. The lavish symbol pages in the ???Book of Durrow??? are shown to reflect a programmatic exposition of the meaning of Easter, and a posthumous essay by a distinguished art historian shows how the...

ISBN: 9780521531153 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.
