Professor Stalley began to explore Ireland's rich legacy of
medieval art in 1969, at a time when it was little known by
students abroad. From the start his principal aim was to discover
how Irish art fitted into its European context, an aim which led to
a series of important comparative studies on major European
monuments, both Romanesque and Gothic. Having begun his career as a
historian, the author has been concerned with the social and
political implications of medieval art, particularly the effect of
the racial divisions that existed in medieval Ireland. He has
written about Irish cathedrals, as well as the buildings of the
Cistercian monks and Franciscan friars. He has also investigated
the royal programme of castle building in the thirteenth century.
Other essays in this volume include a fascinating account of the
repercussions of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, as well
as a consideration of the influence of Viking styles on
Hiberno-Romanesque sculpture. In recent years Professor Stalley has
turned his attention to the high crosses, writing with authority on
the iconography of these complex monuments. The opening essay in
the volume is devoted to the patronage of Henry I's justiciar,
Bishop Roger of Salisbury, whose cathedral at Sarum was destined to
influence the course of Irish Romanesque.
