Anglo-Saxon Crucifixion Iconography and the Art of the Monastic Revival (Cambridge Studies in Anglo-Saxon England)

This book provides the first major study of the drawings, paintings and carvings of the crucifixion from tenth- and eleventh-century England, placing these works of art within the context of the tenth-century monastic revival. The drawings and paintings of the crucifixion are discussed in relation to the literature, theology, liturgy and devotional practices of the late Anglo-Saxon period in order to reveal the richness and subtlety of religious belief at this time. The book will appeal to art historians as well as Anglo-Saxonists.Raw, Barbara C. is the author of 'Anglo-Saxon Crucifixion Iconography and the Art of the Monastic Revival (Cambridge Studies in Anglo-Saxon England)', published 1990 under ISBN 9780521363709 and ISBN 0521363705.
