A comprehensive and authoritative history that explores the
significance of one of the most famous buildings and institutions
in England Westminster Abbey was one of the most powerful churches
in Catholic Christendom before transforming into a Protestant icon
of British national and imperial identity. Celebrating the 750th
anniversary of the consecration of the current Abbey church
building, this book features engaging essays by a group of
distinguished scholars that focus on different, yet often
overlapping, aspects of the Abbey's history: its architecture and
monuments; its Catholic monks and Protestant clergy; its place in
religious and political revolutions; its relationship to the
monarchy and royal court; its estates and educational endeavors;
its congregations; and its tourists. Clearly written and
wide-ranging in scope, this generously illustrated volume is a
fascinating exploration of Westminster Abbey's thousand-year
history and its meaning, significance, and impact within society
both in Britain and beyond. Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in
British Art in association with the Dean and Chapter of the
Collegiate Church of St Peter Westminster (Westminster
Abbey)/Distributed by Yale University Press
