SynopsisThe Lucent Library of Historical Eras gives young readers a window on important eras in world history. Individual titles in every multi-volume set present a historical perspective and a vivid picture of the cultural, political, and social life of the era. The 5-volume Elizabethan England Library, for example, examines the rich literary and cultural life of sixteenth-century England, the age of Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth I. Fully documented primary and secondary source quotations enliven the text, and each set includes well-organized primary source documents valuable for student research and reports. Annotated bibliographies Maps and photographs Informational sidebars Detailed indexes, The history of medieval art is vast, lasting over a thousand years. What united the various periods, styles, and developments of this era was a focus on creating art that reflected an interest in religion and in the tradition of depicting Christian elements. This comprehensive survey provides readers with a detailed insight into how art was shaped by religion during the Middle Ages. Chapters describe how different types of art conveyed certain messages and what those messages would come to mean in the larger scope of art history.
