The Medieval Stained Glass of West Yorkshire: Corpus Vitraearum Medii Aevi: Great Britain

Autor Brian Sprakes
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 apr 2023
The Medieval Stained Glass of West Yorkshire is the first complete catalogue of the glass in the county predating the Gothic Revival. The book presents important and well-known glazing schemes, such as those at Thornhill (adjudged by some the best and most important in any church outside York), Elland, and Normanton, alongside glazing that was previously very little known, such as that at Methley and Ripponden. It draws on dispersed information to give accounts of lost and excavated glass, and offers the first overview of stained glass in the region, placing the schemes in the contexts of donors, makers, and post-installation histories. The volume is complemented with an account of some post-medieval glass-painters whose work is found in the county.

Recenzii

This volume, as well as other volumes in the Corpus Vitrearum Summary Catalogue series, deserves to be placed in every local library and in every tourist office in West Yorkshire. The work is a quintessential example of dedicated scholarship by individuals animated by the love of a past whose values, they are convinced, can animate the present.
