Summary

From Miniature to Monumental: Studies in Medieval Art and Architecture honours the scholarly career of T.A. Heslop, Emeritus Professor of Visual Culture at the University of East Anglia, whose incisive analyses of works ranging from cathedrals and illuminated manuscripts to castles and seal matrices have greatly enriched the field of medieval art history. Inspired by Sandy’s longstanding commitment to situating such objects in their various political, social, and historiographical contexts, these twenty-three essays explore the entanglement of people, things, and ideas across time and space, providing a kaleidoscopic view of current research on the material cultures of medieval Britain (and beyond). With contributions by: Brian Ayers, Jessica Barker, Jessica Berenbeim, Sarah Cassell, Lloyd De Beer, H.F. Doherty, Eric Fernie, Jill A. Franklin (†), Agata A. Gomółka, Jack Hartnell, Peter Kidd, Robert Liddiard, Helen Lunnon, Julian Luxford, M.A. Michael, Rosie Chambers Mills-Helterbran, John Mitchell, Sarah Salih, Veronica Sekules, Matthew Sillence, Zachary Stewart, Nick Trend, and Nicholas Vincent.
