New interpretations of an art form ubiquitious in the Middle Ages.
English alabasters played a seminal role in the artistic
development of late medieval and early modern Europe. Carvings made
of this lustrous white stone were sold throughout England and
abroad, and as a result many survived the iconoclasm that destroyed
so much else from this period. They are a unique and valuable
witness to the material culture of the Middle Ages. This volume
incorporates a variety of new approaches to these artefacts,
employing methodologies drawn from a number of different
disciplines. Its chapters explore a range of key points connected
to alabasters: their origins, their general history and their
social, cultural, intellectual and devotional contexts. ZULEIKA
