About this product

Product Information

Misericords, the carvings under choirstalls, are one of the most popular medieval art forms and a valuable source for social historians. This comprehensive study examines English misericords that have appeared in the latter half of the 20th century. It describes the development of English misericords, comparing them with Continental examples. The author relates them to the life and art of the time showing how carvers were influenced by current styles, borrowing from manuscripts, model books and popular prints.
