Book Synopsis Fairford Parish Church by : J. Raftis
Download or read book Fairford Parish Church written by J. Raftis and published by Sutton Publishing Limited. This book was released on 1997-02-20 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A magnificent achievement - Robert Hardy, CBE. The 28 medieval stained glass windows of St Mary's Church in Fairford, Gloucestershire, form the finest collection of stained glass in Europe and are known throughout the world. St Mary's is a magnificent church, built towards the end of the 15th century by wool merchant John Tame. The windows were installed in 1509 after painstaking work by their craftsmen and tell the story of the Christian faith from Creation to Last Judgement. From 1984, the windows have been gradually restored, after being damaged by years of weathering and corrosion. For the first time in just over 300 years the set of windows is complete. It is therefore timely to publish, for the first time in paperback, the story of Fairford's windows. This book, first published as "Life, Death and Art: The Medieval Stained Glass of Fairford Parish Church," studies the medieval stained glazing scheme in the context of the economic, religious and artistic life of late medieval England. Expert contributors discuss all aspects of the windows, from the building and decoration of the church, to the working methods of the glaziers, the glass's history and construction, and its subject matter and iconography. Beautifully illustrated in both colour and b/w, "Fairford Parish Church" also discusses the survival of the glass, and the methods of its restoration.

Book Synopsis Bonoure and Buxum by : Sue Niebrzydowski
Download or read book Bonoure and Buxum written by Sue Niebrzydowski and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If married in church, medieval women vowed before God and their husbands to be 'bonoure and buxum', that is, meek and obedient in bed and at table. This book is a study of wives in a variety of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century romance, fabliaux, cycle drama, life-writing, lyrics and hagiography. The volume examines key moments that defined life as a married woman: her eligibility to become a wife, the wedding ceremony, her conjugal rights and duties, childbirth and her contribution to the family economy. The book explores the way in which the literary representation of wives is in dialogue with discourses that strove to construct and regulate the role of 'wife'; canon and secular law, marriage liturgy, medical treatises on the female body, sermons, manuals of spiritual instruction, biblical paradigms, conduct books and misogamous writings. Moreover, the volume examines the possibilities for subversion of these paradigms by listening to literary wives speak both within and against these discourses. Real women's attitudes, and strategies of subversion, are woven into the volume throughout, as recorded in church and manorial court records, in their wills and in their writing.

Book Synopsis The English Reformation and the Laity by : Caroline Litzenberger
Download or read book The English Reformation and the Laity written by Caroline Litzenberger and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-05-16 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the effects of the English Reformation on the full spectrum of lay religion from 1540 to 1580 through an investigation of individuals and parishes in Gloucestershire. Rather than focusing on either the acceptance of Protestantism or the demise of the traditional Catholic religion, as other historians have done, it considers all shades of belief against the backdrop of shifting official religious policy. The result is the story of responses ranging from stiff resistance to eager acceptance, creating a picture of the religion of the laity which is diverse and complex, but also layered as parishes and individuals expressed their faith in ways which reflected the institutional or personal nature of their piety. Finally, while the book focuses on Gloucestershire, it reveals broad patterns of beliefs and practices which could probably be found all over England.
