Stained Glass in England During the Middle Ages is a comprehensive
survey of the art and production of stained glass windows. The first
modern study of the medium, this book considers stained glass in
relation to architecture and other arts and, by examining contemporary
documents, it throws valuable light on workshop organisation, prices,
patronage and iconography. Stained glass attracted outstanding craftsmen
who were in the forefront of the main artistic innovations in English
medieval art. Their significance is highlighted in this study which also
examines the the role of patrons and the important contribution made by
stained glass to our knowledge of medieval religions, beliefs and cults.
