Fifteen years in the making, Ann Eljenholm Nichols's The Early Art
of Norfolk: A Subject List of Extant and Lost Art Including Items
Relevant to Early Drama is the most comprehensive listing of early
art from Norfolk ever compiled. It is based on careful examination
of the painted glass, wall paintings, woodcarvings, and other art
in the 600 or so churches of this county and also on thorough
searching of archival records and antiquarian accounts. The book
(double columns, 357 pages, plus plates) will serve as a standard
reference source for students of the ecclesiastical arts and also
will provide an essential dimension for drama scholars. Appendices
treating angels, Norwich Cathedral bosses, apostles and prophets,
liturgical estates, painted panels, christocentric sequences, and
Te Deum as well, and there are glossaries (including terms used in
describing costume) and a contribution by Barbara Green on the
antiquaries whose notes provided essential information about lost
examples of Norfolk art.
Seven-sacrament art -- the representation of all seven sacraments
--first appeared in Europe as an occasional subject in the 14th
century, but by the middle of the 15th it had become widely
popular. In this interdisciplinary study, Ann Eljenholm Nichols
provides an analysis of the iconography of the sacraments. The book
begins with a comprehensive survey of all known continental work,
some of it never before published, but it focuses on English work.
Nichols argues that before 1450 there existed an international
iconography of the sacraments, but that thereafter English work
diverges so radically it is necessary to speak of a distinctive
insular iconography. The explanation for that difference, she
believes, is to be found in the peculiar religious climate created
by the Lollard rejection of the sacramental system. The need to
counter-attack, to make the sacred signs seeable, accounts for the
theological character of the font iconography. Her book makes an
important contribution to the cultural and social history of
medieval England. ANN ELJENHOLM NICHOLS is Professor, Department of
English, Winona State University. (East Anglia) Seven-sacrament art

interdisciplinary study Ann Eljenholm Nichols provides an analysis

imaged baptismal fonts in East Anglia, the single best corpus of
extant seven-sacrament art. Nichols argues that after 1450 English
work diverges radically from the international iconography of the
sacraments; the explanation for this distinctive insular tradition,

rejection vigorously pursued in East Anglia. Her careful use of
