Maidie Hilmo

Medieval Images, Icons, and Illustrated English Literary Texts (eBook, ePUB)

From the Ruthwell Cross to the Ellesmere Chaucer

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first study to cover the range of major illustrated English poems from the Anglo-Saxon period to the early 15th century. The author argues that the artists were familiar with the texts, flexible in adapting existing iconographies, and innovative in responding to the poems to guide the ethical reading process of their audience.
