Inhaltsangabe

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.
