Death, Art, and Memory in Medieval England
Author: Nigel SaulPublisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191542814
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
In this innovative and compelling book Nigel Saul approaches the world of the medieval gentry through the monuments they left behind them. The Cobham family left the largest and most spectacular collection of brasses in Britain in their church at Cobham, and other magnificent brasses in Lingfield, and elsewhere. Medieval brasses have hitherto been studied chiefly from an antiquarian or technical perspective; Nigel Saul for the first time shows how they served as a link between the living and the dead. Commemoration was inseparable from the wider dynamics of society. Through the brasses and through family history he takes us to the heart of gentry aspirations and fears, successes and disappointments. This extensively illustrated study offers a new paradigm for the study of medieval church monuments and makes a major contribution to our understanding of gentry culture.
Heraldry, Pageantry and Social Display in Medieval England
Author: Peter R. CossPublisher: Boydell Press
ISBN: 9781843830368
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Discussion of display through a range of artefacts and in a variety of contexts: family and lineage, social distinction and aspiration, ceremony and social bonding, and the expression of power and authority. Medieval culture was intensely visual. Although this has long been recognised by art historians and by enthusiasts for particular media, there has been little attempt to study social display as a subject in its own right. And yet, display takes us directly into the values, aspirations and, indeed, anxieties of past societies. In this illustrated volume a group of experts address a series of interrelated themes around the issue of display and do so in a waywhich avoids jargon and overly technical language. Among the themes are family and lineage, social distinction and aspiration, ceremony and social bonding, and the expression of power and authority. The media include monumental effigies, brasses, stained glass, rolls of arms, manuscripts, jewels, plate, seals and coins. Contributors: MAURICE KEEN, DAVID CROUCH, PETER COSS, CAROLINE SHENTON, ADRIAN AILES, FRÉDÉRIQUE LACHAUD, MARIAN CAMPBELL, BRIAN and MOIRA GITTOS, NIGEL SAUL, FIONN PILBROW, CAROLINE BARRON and JOHN WATTS.
The Ornaments of the Ministers as Shown on English Monumental Brasses

Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
The monumental brasses which lie on the floors of so many of our ancient parish churches do not profess to furnish us, except in rare and late examples, with portraits of the persons to whose memory they were made and laid down. They are, however, of considerable value as guides to the costumes worn by knights, civilians, judges, ladies, and ecclesiastics, from the latter part of the thirteenth century up to the end of the seventeenth century . . . We are concerned solely with the brasses which have been laid down to commemorate ecclesiastics . . . -From the Introduction
