Details
This book, the first new introduction to the subject for 25 years, draws on the most up-to-date research and discoveries to explore the character, themes, motifs and styles of Anglo-Saxon art. It traces the changing nature of that art, the different roles it played in Anglo-Saxon culture, and the various ways it both reflected and influenced the changing world in which it was created. The book is stunningly illustrated throughout with artefacts from the world-class collections of the British Museum and British Library.
