This selection of seventeen papers by Professor Anthony Cutler
falls into three broad groups, all including topics with which the
author has been concerned for many years. Chapters III-VIII are
concerned primarily with Byzantine subjects, and with their
historiography. The last of this group also probes Italian
relations with Byzantium which, in one manner or another, is also
the theme of the next four papers. Chapters XIII-XVI are devoted to
Scandinavia without, however, abandoning the focus on
interconnections between 'works of art' and the societies that they
represented. Over the course of thirty years, the author has
reverted frequently to the broad theme of the relation between
artefacts and the cultures from which they emerged, prompted to
respond to the art historian's characteristic lack of concern with
the reasons for (as against the 'sources' of) the objects that he
or she studies. These papers are linked by Professor "Cutler's
general impatience with an attitude set out long ago by Henry
Adams: 'We can admire a cathedral without comprehending the force
of the Cross that produced it'.
