Summary:

"Paul Binski's new book offers a radical new perspective on English art, architecture and religious imagination during this pivotal period and explores the successes and failures of some of the most ambitious aesthetic concepts of the time. It places them in the context of the development of ideas of allegory and morality natural to the class of patrons coming to the fore." "Setting medieval English art in new and unexpected interdisciplinary and international contexts, this book offers a radical and original perspective on both the cultural and institutional life of Gothic England."--Jacket.
