Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"This work represents a new benchmark in contextualizing a major Romanesque monument within the complex fabric of a society that created and transformed it according to changing needs over time. The author is to be commended for being simultaneously attentive to the visual and experiential aspects of the monument, on the one hand, and the nuts and bolts of archaeology and textual documents, on the other. What is more, she presents a bold new interpretative framework for the relatively neglected field of Romanesque mural painting."-Thomas E. A. Dale, University of Wisconsin, Madison "In sum, the author is to be admired (envied, one might sigh) for her intimate familiarity with the setting, which allowed her to treat the art with so much breadth and depth-and insight."-Luke Demaitre, The Medieval Review (TMR) "Marcia Kupfer writes with an enthusiasm which her readers soon come to share."-Christopher Colven, Art Newspaper "There are copious notes to each chapter to back up Dr. Kupfer's ideas, an extensive bibliography, and, most impressively, over 100 black-and-white plates illustrating the wall paintings and their setting."-Christopher Colven, Art Newspaper "We owe much to micro-historians for showing the importance of interpretive theories to determine mentalities and cultural systems, and for bringing to light areas such as parishes that had long resided in the shade (in contrast to big events and larger-than-life personages). We are indebted to Kupfer in particular for her clear and comprehensive explication of these principles, her appreciation for a methodology that allows works of art and architecture to speak, and for a carefully researched treatment of the convention between images and healing."-Gerald Christianson, Church History "The book is handsomely produced, with well over a hundred high-quality plates, maps and plans and a full scholarly apparatus. It is, moreover, written in a clear, immediate style, with comparatively few lapses into the impenetrable jargon and fractured syntax that so often disfigure contemporary writing on the body."-Carole Rawcliffe, EHR "Author and publisher should be commended for the generous reproduction, in an appendix, of numerous black and white photographs, maps, and sketches. Despite some unevenness in presentation this is a provocative, thoroughly researched monograph that will be of broad interest to historians of medieval religion, charity, and medicine."-Mitchell Lewis Hammond, Sixteenth Century Journal Read more...
