Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture
The visual heritage of Northern Yorkshire in the pre-Conquest period is revealed in this addition to the Corpus series. This volume surveys the sculpture in the historic North Riding of Yorkshire (excluding those parts covered in Volume three).
Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture in England
This analytical catalogue of sculpture from the historic counties of Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire provides a new perspective on the artistic achievement of the late Saxon kingdom. The volume includes individual pieces of the highest quality such as the Bradford-on-Avon and Winterbourne Steepleton angels or the newly discovered figures from Congresbury. Most of the monuments were carved at a time when Wessex art was at its zenith in the tenth and eleventh centuries, a formative period for English cultural identity. This volume sets the sculpture within an historical, topographical and art-historical context, highlighting the close links with contemporary styles in manuscripts and metalwork. Full photographic records of each monument present many new illustrations unique to this volume. An indispensable research tool for all those interested in the early medieval world, this volume is also an authoritative aid for local historians.
Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture, Volume VI: Northern Yorkshire
The rich and diverse visual heritage of Northern Yorkshire in the pre-Conquest period is revealed in this major addition to the much-admired Corpus series. The volume surveys the sculpture in the historic North Riding of Yorkshire. The total of some 400 carvings include important pre-Viking Age monuments, among them a range of inscriptions at Whitby Abbey that are crucial for our understanding of the pre-Conquest monastery. Anglo-Scandinavian monuments predominate, and a number of workshops have been identified.
