Description: Art, Literature and Material Culture of the Medieval World : Transition, Transformation and Taxonomy, Hardcover by Boulton, Meg (EDT); Hawkes, Jane (EDT); Herman, Melissa (EDT), ISBN 184682561X, ISBN-13 9781846825613, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Ranging from the fifth to the fifteenth centuries in Europe, the capacious lap of the Middle Ages contains vast historical periods and a multitude of cultural transitions. Anything but static and stagnant, it was a time of social upheaval, intellectual development, technological and political innovation. Contributors explore the ideas of transition, transformation, and taxonomy in their broadest possible definitions via their field of study in a search for a more nuanced understanding. Nineteen chapters are: interrogating the bastard children of change; observations on the changing Middle Ages; the archaeology of transition; ethnic identities in transition; becoming Christian; 'hail the conquering hero’; St. Everilda; relics and riches; ends of empire and earth; when is a hroc not a hroc?; settlements in transition; the aesthetics of transition on the Franks casket; transitions of authority; embroidered stones; the architecture of a life; a change of clothes on the Morgan Leaf; in time, out of time; crying over the evangelists; something more than 'man’.
