Description
|
|
|
|
This book examines medieval culture from several viewpoints to reveal how the art of the Middle Ages offers unique insight into the wider issues of medieval politics and culture, under such headings as "Why the Medieval Matters," "Teaching Medieval Architecture at the Cloisters," and "The Cure of Perfection: Women's Obstetrics in Early and Medieval Islam." Illustrated with color photographs of medieval buildings and monuments, superb art objects, and illuminated manuscripts, the essays also address the teaching of medieval art and architecture and examine the longing for ecclesiastical drama.
