Covering the arts of Ireland and England with some incursions
onto mainland Europe, where the same stylistic influences are
found, the terms "Insular" and "Anglo-Saxon" are two of the most
problematic in medieval art history. Originally used to define the
manuscripts of ninth- and tenth-century Ireland and the north of
England, "Insular" is now more widely applied to include all of the
media of these and earlier periods. It is a style that is closely
related to the more narrowly defined Anglo-Saxon. Stretching from
the sixth or seventh centuries possibly to the late eleventh
century, these styles are two of the most innovative of the Middle
Ages. The studies in this volume, which were undertaken by some of
the most eminent scholars in the field, highlight the close
interaction between the two worlds of Ireland and England in the
early medieval period. Studies deal with topics as diverse as the
Books of Kells and Durrow, the high cross, reliquaries, and shrines
as well as issues of reception, liturgy, color, performance, and
iconography.
