Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are a Christian or not, a number of things hit you when you first enter a medieval church. It could be the slightly musty smell that many ancient churches possess, or a sense of the presence of God, or a wonderment at the faith and technology of our ancestors, who built so many wonderful cathedrals and churches. Yet soon you may be greeted by the wonders of medieval stained glass. The light, from outside, transforms the stained glass into an almost living creation as it dances on the floor before you. When we think of medieval stained glass, we tend to think of York, of Canterbury, or of Norfolk. But Suffolk has beautiful medieval stained glass too and, sadly, it is underrated. I have tried to describe the medieval stained glass using some 20 'fabulous' churches. Fabulous both in the usual sense, but also in the sense that their stained glass has something to say to us. Nowadays we do not immediately understand what these medieval windows are trying to tell us, so I have attempted to redress this issue by simply 'translating' them in a non-academic manner. I want to "Let the Stained Glass Speak" to my readers. Although I have written this book for people who live in, or go to church in, Suffolk, I have also written it for anyone who loves stained glass. The book is highly illustrated with some 245 images in 280 pages of text. So, without more ado, "Let the Stained Glass Speak!".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'An essential part of the library for anyone interested in the great political and military upheavals in the 15th century.' – Graeme Rimer, Retired Former Academic Director of the Royal Armouries 'A creditable effort to examine a neglected aspect of medieval warfare.' – Jim Bradbury, Cambridge University Press 'Everything you need to know about being a soldier in the Wars of the Roses.' – The Mail Bookshop What was it like to fight in a Wars of the Roses battle? What kind of men fought at St Albans, Northampton, Wakefield, Towton, Tewkesbury and Bosworth? How was the medieval soldier recruited, paid, equipped, fed and billeted? And how was a battle contested once both sides resorted to all-out conflict? First published in 1998, this classic study of the medieval soldier in the Wars of the Roses examines these and other questions using various documentary sources and recent evidence. Eyewitness accounts, contemporary chronicles, personal letters, civic records, archaeology and surviving military equipment are used to paint a fascinating picture of the medieval soldier. Evidence gleaned from the mass war grave found close to the battlefield of Towton in North Yorkshire sheds new light on those that lived and died in the civil wars. But what do we know about the psychology of those involved? And how did soldiers feel about killing their fellow Englishmen? Andrew Boardman explores the grim reality of medieval soldiering on land and sea during this crucial period of aristocratic violence and dynastic upheaval. He makes us question the current historical record, such as it is, and our perceptions of chivalry and warfare in Lancastrian and Yorkist England. The text is supported by many contemporary illustrations, diagrams and maps, making this updated work an indispensable guide to medieval soldiering in the late fifteenth century.

Download or read book Early Medieval Text and Image Volume 2 written by Jennifer O'Reilly and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-19 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When she died in 2016, Dr Jennifer O’Reilly left behind a body of published and unpublished work in three areas of medieval studies: the iconography of the Gospel Books produced in early medieval Ireland and Anglo-Saxon England; the writings of Bede and his older Irish contemporary, Adomnán of Iona; and the early lives of Thomas Becket. In these three areas she explored the connections between historical texts, artistic images and biblical exegesis. This volume brings together seventeen essays, published between 1984 and 2013, on the interplay of texts and images in medieval art. Most focus on the manuscript art of early medieval Ireland and England. The first section includes four studies of the Codex Amiatinus, produced in Northumbria in the monastic community of Bede. The second section contains seven essays on the iconography and text of the Book of Kells. In the third section there are five studies of Anglo-Saxon Art, examined in the context of the Benedictine Reform. A concluding essay, on the medieval iconography of the two trees in Eden, traces the development of a motif from Late Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages.(CS1080)

Download or read book Long Melford Stained Glass Colouring Book written by Simon Edge and published by . This book was released on 2022-07-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stained glass windows of Holy Trinity Church at Long Melford in Suffolk are one of the glories of England's medieval heritage. Most stained glass from this period was destroyed in the Reformation, when the Tudor boy king Edward VI ordered religious imagery in churches to be destroyed, and later in the Civil War. The glass at Long Melford is a rare survival. Its mainly secular images show East Anglian dignitaries and their wives, some of them familiar names in the history of the Wars of the Roses, and provide an unparalleled record of 15th-century costumes, heraldry and hairstyles. The 36 line-drawn images based on the figures in the windows - with an introduction on the history of Long Melford and a short biography of each character - will provide hours of colouring entertainment for adults and children alike. Long Melford's stained glass is in urgent need of conservation. All proceeds from the sale of this book go to the restoration fund

Download or read book English Medieval Alabasters written by Francis Cheetham and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2005 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francis Cheetham's classic survey of English medieval alabasters includes a richly illustrated catalogue of the Victoria and Albert Museum's unparalleled collection. English alabasters represent a unique contribution to medieval art. Less sophisticated, perhaps, than other contemporary forms of religious art, they were a neglected area of study until this volume was first published in 1984. Stories from the New Testament and The Golden Legend were the most favoured subjects, and the numerous examples that survive in churches and museums throughout Europe attest to their wide and enduring appeal. FrancisCheetham examines here all aspects of their production and demonstrates how the panels and altarpieces can aid our understanding of life and devotional practice in medieval times. At the heart of this fascinating study is arichly illustrated catalogue of the 260 examples in the collection of London's Victoria and Albert Museum: a collection "so comprehensive that it would be possible to write a survey of the subject almost without recourse to pieces elsewhere," as Sir Roy Strong notes in his Foreword. Their division into subject categories is an invaluable aid to identification and classification. The late Francis Cheetham was an acknowledged expert on medieval English alabasters, and this reissue of his classic work will be welcomed by historians, art historians, collectors and dealers alike, taking its place alongside his Alabaster Images of Medieval England which was published by the Boydell Press in 2003.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautifully illustrated guide to the world of Victorian stained glass and its manufacturers and designers. Victorian stained glass – magnificent, colourful and artistic – adorns countless British churches, municipal buildings and homes. Across the decades, several artistic movements influenced these designs, from the Gothic Revival, through the Arts and Crafts Movement and into Art Nouveau as a new century dawned. Historian Trevor Yorke shows how craftsmen re-learned the lost medieval art of colouring, painting and assembling stained glass windows – but also, in this age of industry, how windows were templated and mass produced. Showcasing the exquisite glass generated by famous designers such as A.W.N. Pugin, Pre-Raphaelites William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones, and by leading manufacturers such as Clayton and Bell, this beautifully illustrated book introduces the reader to many wonderful examples of Victorian stained glass and where it can be found.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval London Widows, 1300-1500 shows that it is possible to expand the repertoire of examples of medieval women with personalities and individuality beyond the well-known triad of Margaret Paston, Margery Kempe and the Wife of Bath. The rich documentation of London records allows these women to speak for themselves. They do so largely through their wills, which themselves exemplify the ability of widows to make choices and to order their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we scratch beneath the surface of the Suffolk we know today, there are numerous surprising, touching and alarming tales which bring to life the rich history of this county. The Little History of Suffolk reveals the devastating effect of the dissolution of the monasteries, the decline of the once-booming cloth trade, drastic erosion of the coastline, and the disappearance of large country houses and estates. Here you will also find the rise of the chic Victorian seaside resorts, the captains of the brewing and iron industries who put Suffolk firmly on the post-industrial revolution map, and the key wartime role the county played over many centuries. No corner of Suffolk is left unturned in this small book with a huge punch.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1990, Medieval English Drama is an exhaustive bibliography of scholarship on medieval English drama.

The bibliography is divided into two sections; editions and collections of plays, and critical works. The bibliography is exhaustive rather than selective and provides English annotations for foreign language works, as well as a list of reviews for most books. The book covers liturgical and folk drama, other forms of entertainment, and related material useful to researchers in the field. The book provides an update of sources not listed in Carl J. Stratman's comprehensive Bibliography of Medieval Drama published in 1972.

Download or read book Sacred Longings written by Mary C. Grey and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""This book explores what is happening to the human spirit in a culture shaped and driven by [globalization], a culture where dreams, imaginations and desires are all manipulated...." What do we really want? Noted theologian Mary Grey believes we have gotten out of touch with our deepest desires and that the root problem is our acquiescence in global capitalism's most problematic characteristics. Story and symbol, she argues, can put us back in touch with out "sacred longings." Focusing on such simple yet profound symbols as water, light, and sacred space, she tries to reinstill a spiritual quest. In the end, she envisions spirituality--a kind of ecomystical renewal--as an element in the transformation of desire, lived out in Christian community. "For desire to be reborn, for sacred longings even to be named, not to mention fulfilled, there needs to be an embracing of the way of renunciation, simplicity and sacrifice. And that is counter-cultural..." As Part One looks at how our culture has lost heart, and Part Two analyzes are restless hearts, Part Three asks us to take heart and rekindle our thirst for righteousness.
