ESSAYS ON ASPECTS OF ICONOGRAPHY AS MANIFESTED IN THE MATERIAL CULTURE
OF MEDIEVAL ENGLAND.
Professor Jane Hawkes has devoted her career to the study of medieval
stone, exploring its iconographies, symbolic significances and
scholarly contexts, and shedding light on the obscure and understudied
sculpted stone monuments of Anglo-Saxon England. This volume builds on
her scholarly interests, offering new engagements with medieval
culture and the current scholarly methodologies that shape the
discipline. The contributors approach several significantobjects and
texts from the early and later Middle Ages, working across several
disciplinary backgrounds and periods, largely focusing on the Insular
World as it intersects with wider global contexts of the period. The
chapters cover a wide range of subjects, from the material culture of
baptism, to the material, symbolic and iconographic consideration of
the artistic outputs of the Insular world, with essays on sculpture,
metalwork, glass and manuscripts,to ideas of stone and salvation in
both material and textual contexts, to intellectual puzzles and
patterns - both material and mathematic - to consideration of the ways
in which the conversion to Christianity played out on the landscape.
