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.

`... the author offers the first scholarly and comprehensive account of one of the leading medieval figurative arts, placing the medium firmly in its social, artistic and iconographic milieu. ... This is a feast of a book,' - Sarah Brown Ricardian X`This is a magesterial work which ought to be very widely read.' - Burlington Magazine'...we may conclude that this book will amply satisfy the need the author perceived for an "up-to-date survey of the subject" - Dr Malcolm Jones,Centre for English Cultural Tradition Sheffield University.
