Stained Glass in England During the Middle Ages

is a comprehensive survey of the art and production of stained glass windows. The first modern study of the medium, this book considers stained glass in relation to architecture and other arts and, by examining contemporary documents, it throws valuable light on workshop organisation, prices, patronage and iconography. Stained glass attracted outstanding craftsmen who were in the forefront of the main artistic innovations in English medieval art. Their significance is highlighted in this study which also examines the the role of patrons and the important contribution made by stained glass to our knowledge of medieval religions, beliefs and cults.
