literary texts providing furthercomparisons.
Several authors use the results of petrological
analysis to underpin their conclusions, while
drawing links between monumental sculpture and other
surviving sculpture of the period, the potential of
both of which have not hitherto received sufficient
attention. Surface finishes are also discussed.
Moreover, full transcriptions and translations are
provided of all the known tomb contracts of the
period, together with commentaries on the monuments,
those commemorated by them, and the craftsmen who
made them. Medieval commemoration and tomb monuments
are attracting increased interest from scholars.
This corpus of cutting-edge research will shed new
light on an aspect of medieval craftsmanship which,
for the most part, can be seen only through a glass
darkly.

| February 24th 2010 Shire have now republished Professor Brian Kemp's book on church monuments - but this time in colour. As we might expect both from the author and the publisher this is an excellent book and together with Sally Badham's companion volume on brasses makes an excellent and remarkably inexpensive introduction to the whole subject. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
