This book is not designed to define the sacred. It is, rather, a
bringing together of case histories (a rich, varied collection from
medieval, early modern and nineteenth-century contexts in England
and Wales) that goes beyond familiar paradigms to explore the
dynamic, protean interaction, in different times and places,
between sacred space and text. Essentially an interdisciplinary
enterprise, it focuses a range of historical and critical
methodologies on that complex process of transformation and
transmission whereby spiritual intuitions, experiences and
teachings are made palpable 'in art and architecture, poetry and
prayer, in histories, scriptures and liturgies, even landscapes. So
the sacred, variously constructed and inscribed, makes itself felt
'on the pulse'; is a presence, a voice even now not stilled.
