Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Misericords of Exeter Cathedral In the effigy the mitre has pendent straps which spring out on each side; perhaps traces of these were left when the boss was broken off, leading the restorer to conclude there had been a veil there. The restoration of the boss is beautifully done, the join is almost imperceptible, but in the thirteenth century the artist would not have made one boss a replica of the other; there were always divergences, however slight. Above all one regrets the inappropriate introduction of the woman's head: it 'would have been so simple to copy that of Bishop Marshall from his effigy.

Download or read book English Medieval Misericords written by Paul Hardwick and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Misericord carvings present a fascinating corpus of medieval art which, in turn, complements our knowledge of life and belief in the late middle ages. Subjects range from the sacred to the profane and from the fantastic to the everyday, seemingly giving equal weight to the scatological and the spiritual alike. Focusing specifically on England - though with cognisance of broader European contexts - this volume offers an analysis of misericords in relation to other cultural artefacts of the period. Through a series of themed "case studies", the book places misericords firmly within the doctrinal and devotional milieu in which they were created and sited, arguing that even the apparently coarse images to be found beneath choir stalls are intimately linked to the devotional life of the medieval English Church. The analysis is complemented by a gazetteer of the most notable instances. Dr Paul Hardwick is Professor in English, Leeds Trinity University College.
