Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

The essays in this volume are devoted to the art and architecture of Munster, one of the four ancient provinces of Ireland. A major theme underpinning many of the essays is the degree to which Irish craftsmen and builders engaged with the rest of Europe, and the nature of their relationship with English practice. The extent to which the advent of Gothic was a colonial phenomenon, an inevitable consequence of the Anglo-Norman conquest of Ireland after 1170, is likewise considered, so too the extent to which Ireland developed its own identity in architecture and sculpture in the later middle ages. While travellers from abroad regarded Ireland as one of the most remote regions of the western world, situated at the end of the earth, these essays make it clear that the province of Munster was still very much an integral part of Christian Europe.

Reseña del editor:

This volume consists of seventeen papers delivered at the British Archaeological Association's annual conference held in Limerick in 2008, with questions of piety, patronage and the reception of European cultural practices well to the fore. In addition to studies of Irish cathedrals, monasteries, castles and tower houses, this pioneering volume includes investigations of crosiers, misericords, tomb monuments and stained glass.
