The Golden Legend: The Saints As Represented On The Rood Screens Of East Anglia By Michael Hodges

Minimum Donation €40.62

Those who are interested in the rich architectural and artistic legacy of our East Anglian churches have long known that a number of depictions of the saints have survived on the dados of their ancient Rood Screens. But before the compilation of this book few of us, I imagine, had supposed that such depictions had in fact survived in very considerable numbers, and in such amazing variety. Michael Hodges’ excellent study has opened our eyes to this great wonder. Michael Hodges’ book will make us want to go out and encounter anew this important part of our East Anglian cultural heritage. Softcover. Published by Mount Orleans Press, 6th July 2023
