New Publication: ‘Tributes to T.A. Heslop: From Miniature to Monumental: Studies in Medieval Art and Architecture’, edited by Lloyd de Beer, Helen Lunnon, and Zachary Stewart

From Miniature to Monumental: Studies in Medieval Art and Architecture honours the scholarly career of T.A. Heslop, Emeritus Professor of Visual Culture at the University of East Anglia, whose incisive analyses of works ranging from cathedrals and illuminated manuscripts to castles and seal matrices have greatly enriched the field of medieval art history. Inspired by Sandy’s longstanding commitment to situating such objects in their various political, social, and historiographical contexts, these twenty-three essays explore the entanglement of people, things, and ideas across time and space, providing a kaleidoscopic view of current research on the material cultures of medieval Britain (and beyond). 

All information available and how to order the book can be found on the Brepols website.
