Description
Originally published in 1927, this book presents an accessible guide to Gothic foliage sculpture, aimed at visitors to ancient English churches. Exploring the development of a specifically English tradition in this area, the text begins with an exploration of pre-Conquest and Anglo-Saxon work before moving chronologically through the medieval period to the Tudor flower. Numerous illustrative figures are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in church sculpture and the English Gothic tradition.
