Stained glass is arguably the most appealing of the achievements of
the medieval craftsman, synthesizing monumental painting with the
best of medieval architecture, but it is also the least-understood
of the medieval arts. Drawing upon recent research in English
medieval art-historical studies, "English Medieval Stained Glass"
is a comprehensive survey of the art and business of producing
stained glass windows, intended to both stimulate further research
and to heighten awareness of the need to preserve this fragile art
form. It considers stained glass in relation to architecture and
other arts and, by examining contemporary documents, it throws
valuable light on workshop organization, prices, patronage and
iconography. Stained glass attracted outstanding craftsmen who were
in the forefront of the main artistic innovations in English
medieval art. Their significance is highlighted in this study which
also makes use of the plentiful documentary material which throws
light on workshop organization and practice, the role of patrons
and the important contribution made by stained glass to our
knowledge of medieval religions, beliefs and cults.
