A comprehensive review of the wide and varied range of window
tracery designs that emerged during the medieval period. While the
terms used to describe the tracery of medieval church windows are
familiar (Early English, Decorated, Perpendicular), there has been
no really detailed attempt to examine it as a distinct, stylistic
architectural form, agap which this book seeks to address. Based
upon a visual catalogue of over 250 images of surviving types and
styles from churches throughout England, it traces the progression
of ideas and the continuity of motifs and themes intracery patterns
from the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries, showing how
different themes emerged within the main architectural styles; it
also looks at the distinction between a window's architectural form
and its tracery style, and describes the several different tracery
techniques. The volume is completed with a detailed glossary.
Stephen Hart is a retired architect, and the author of numerous
works, including Flint Flushwork.
