The Bayeux Tapestry, perhaps the most famous, yet enigmatic, of
medieval artworks, was the subject of an international conference
at the British Museum in July 2008. This volume publishes 19 of 26
papers delivered at that conference. The physical nature of the
tapestry is examined, including an outline of the artefact's
current display and the latest conservation and research work done
on it, as well as a review of the many repairs and alterations that
have been made to the Tapestry over its long history. Also examined
is the social history of the tapestry, including Shirley Ann
Brown's paper on the Nazis' interest in it as a record of northern
European superiority and Pierre Bouet and Francois Neveux's
suggestion that it is a source for understanding the succession
crisis of 1066. Among those papers focusing on the detail of the
Tapestry, Gale Owen-Crocker examines the Tapestry's faces, Carol
Neuman de Vegvar investigates the Tapestry's drinking vessels and
explores differences in its feast scenes and Michael Lewis compares
objects depicted in the Tapestry and Oxford, Bodleian Library,
Junius 11. The book also includes a resume of four papers given at
the conference published elsewhere and a full black and white
facsimile of the Tapestry, with its figures numbered for ease of
referencing.
