New insights into inscribed and stone monuments from across Europe
in the early middle ages. Often fragmented and without context,
early medieval inscribed and sculpted stone monuments of the fifth
to eleventh centuries AD have been mainly studied via their shape,
their decoration and the texts a fraction of them bear. This book,
investigating stone monuments from Ireland, Britain and Scandinavia
(including the important memorials at Iniscealtra, County Clare),
advocates three relatively new, distinctive and interconnected
approaches to the lithicheritage of the early Middle Ages. Building
on recent theoretical trends in archaeology and material culture
studies in particular, it uses the themes of materiality, biography
and landscape to reveal how carved stones created senses of
identity and history for early medieval communities and kingdom. An
extensive introduction and eight chapters span the disciplines of
history, art-history and archaeology, exploring how shaping stone
in turn shaped and re-shaped early medieval societies. Howard

William Inge burst upon the theatrical scene with this story of
marital frustration which erupts in violence. Doc and Lola had an
indiscreet affair, she became pregnant and, compelled to marry her,
he gave up his medical studies, forfeited his future and settled
down to a life of quiet desperation with the simple, homey Lola,
who lost the child but has remained Doc's steadfast if slatternly
wife. Now a chiropractor and recovering alcoholic, Doc's sobriety
is tested when Marie, a young college student becomes their boarder
bringing new life and long-dormant hostilities to the surface of
Doc and Lola's troubled marriage. Shirley Booth won the Tony, NY
Drama Critics Award and later the Oscar as Best Actress of The Year
for her compelling performance as Lola.
