Review of the hardback: 'Llewelyn's study has much to inform the serious 'Reformation' theologian.' Laudetur

Review of the hardback: 'Llewellyn's study explores the complexities and range of these ambitious works and persuasively argues for their importance as registers of shifting social attitudes and aspirations. this important book deserves the attention not merely of art historians, but of a far wider variety of scholars working on the material culture of post-medieval England.' Post-Medieval Archaeology

Descrizione del libro

This is an account of the most important kind of surviving post-Reformation church art, the carved stone funeral monument. Built in huge numbers during the years around 1600, thousands still survive across England. Lavishly illustrated with rare photographs, it offers a valuable and informative record.
