This is a collection of eight essays which review the origin and development of the craft of sculpture in medieval England. Each essay forms a specialized study, but several themes run through the book: The range of sculptural methods and materials (terracotta, bronze, stone and wood), the relationship between patron and artist, the place of sculpture in architectural settings, and images of kingship and the hero, especially St George fighting the dragon. The book also offers a reappraisal of the role of continental artists in the English Renaissance. Also examined, in two of the essays, is the issue of modern conservation.
