From their introduction in the early twelfth century the
Cistercians were one of the leading monastic orders in Britain.
Many of the finest monastic remains - Fountains, Rievaulx and
Tintern - are Cistercian. This 1986 book is a comprehensive survey
of Cistercian art and architecture in the British Isles. The
various contributions, all by leading specialists, cover the
historical and literary background; the development of Cistercian
architecture (especially in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries,
when the Cistercians were in the forefront of architectural
achievement, playing an important role in the introduction and
dissemination of the Gothic style); and art forms such as wall
painting, stained glass, tile pavements, and manuscript
illumination, as well as liturgy and music. These studies reveal
what was distinctively Cistercian in the art and architecture of
the Order, and permit a distinct understanding of the remarkable
contribution of the Cistercians to the culture of medieval Britain.
