This definitive catalogue is published to accompany a major V&A exhibition, the sequel to the hugely successful Age of Chivalry held at the Royal Academy in 1987. There is no other publication of this size and scope covering this important period of English art. Leading medieval scholars have contributed essays on subjects which encompass all aspects of life in this vibrant and influential time in English history - from war and politics to royalty and patronage, religion and the relationship with Europe, music and architecture. A magnificent range of images present the very finest works of late medieval art, with architecture a major feature in a period when English churches and cathedrals were at their most splendid. Many of the remarkable surviving examples of stone work, wood carving, stained glass and gold and silver plate have been gathered together for the first time, creating a book of both scholarship and beauty.
