New approaches to what is arguably the most famous artefact from
the Middle Ages. In the past two decades, scholarly assessment of
the Bayeux Tapestry has moved beyond studies of its sources and
analogues, dating, origin and purpose, and site of display. This
volume demonstrates the value of more recent interpretive
approaches to this famous and iconic artefact, by examining the
textile's materiality, visuality, reception and historiography, and
its constructions of gender, territory and cultural memory. The
essays it contains frame discussions vital to the future of
Tapestry scholarship and are complemented by a bibliography
covering three centuries of critical writings. Contributors:
Valerie Allen, Richard Brilliant, Shirley Ann Brown, Elizabeth
Carson Pastan, Madeline H. Cavines, Martin K. Foys, Michael John
Lewis, Karen Eileen Overbey, Gale R. Owen-Crocker, Dan Terkla,
Stephen D. White.
