      • Product Description: No historian will be able to ignore this catalogue ... It also has some of the most vivid writing that we have come across' The Art Newspaper
         
        Winner of The Art Newspaper & AXA Art Exhibition Catalogue Award 2004. Originally published to coincide with a major V&A exhibition of the same title, a sequel to the hugely successful Age of Chivalry 1200-1400 held at the Royal Academy in 1987-88.

        There is no other publication of this size and scope covering this important period of English art. 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, politics, royalty, music, architecture, religion and the country's relationship with Europe. A magnificent range of images portray the very finest works of art, showing for example, English churches and cathedrals at their most splendid. Many of the remarkable surviving examples of stone work, wood carving, stained glass, 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 objects, some of which have never been published. The text is a genuine contribution to scholarship and with the magnificent illustrations results in a superb book which will be the definitive work on the subject for some time to come.
