ISBN: 9780197264966 / Angielski / Twarda / 700 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Motherhood and Meaning in Medieval Sculpture: Representations from France, C.1100-1500
ISBN: 9781783272501 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What can medieval sculptural representations of women tell us about medieval women's experiences of motherhood? Presumably the work of male sculptors, working for clerical patrons, these sculptures are unlikely to have been shaped by women's maternal experiences during their production. Once produced, however, their beholders would have included women who were mothers and potential mothers, thus opening a space between the sculptures' intended meanings and other meanings liable to be produced by these women as they brought their own interests and concerns to these works of art. Building on...
