Leading medieval scholars have contributed essays on subjects which encompass all aspects of life in this vibrant and influential time in English history - from war and politics to royalty and patronage, religion and the relationship with Europe, music and architecture. A magnificent range of images portrays the very finest works of art, with architecture a major feature in a period when English churches and cathedrals were at their most splendid. Many of the remarkable surviving examples of stone work, wood carving, stained glass and gold and silver plate have been gathered together for the exhibition and book. There are 360 catalogue entries in total, combining to provide a complete record of this ground-breaking exhibition and documenting many objects that have never previously been published. The text is a major contribution to scholarship and with the magnificent illustrations results in a superbly designed and produced book which will be the definitive work on the subject for some time to come.
