THE EARLY ART OF NORFOLK:
|
Fifteen years in the making, Ann Eljenholm Nichols's The Early Art of Norfolk: A Subject List of Extant and Lost Art Including Items Relevant to Early Drama is the most comprehensive listing of early art from Norfolk ever compiled. It is based on careful examination of the painted glass, wall paintings, woodcarvings, and other art in the 600 or so churches of this county and also on thorough searching of archival records and antiquarian accounts. The book (double columns, 357 pages, plus plates) will serve as a standard reference source for students of the ecclesiastical arts and also will provide an essential dimension for drama scholars. Appendices treating angels, Norwich Cathedral bosses, Apostles and Prophets, liturgical estates, painted panels, christocentric sequences, and Te Deum as well, and there are glossaries (including terms used in describing costume) and a contribution by Barbara Green on the antiquaries whose notes provided essential information about lost examples of Norfolk art. Nichols, who is Professor Emerita of English at Winona State University, is the co-editor of Iconoclasm vs. Art and Drama (1989) in the EDAM Monograph Series, and is author of Seeable Signs: The Iconography of the Seven Sacraments (Boydell and Brewer, 1994).

Professor Palmer has systematically surveyed the art of the former West Riding of Yorkshire and has provided an iconographic index of this large region where medieval drama also flourished.
"Scholars in many areas of medieval studies will find Palmer's list a useful guide and will especially appreciate its clear descriptions of works of art so difficult of access."—from Speculum (July 1992)

THE EASTER SEPULCHRE IN ENGLAND
|
In addition to a catalogue of Easter sepulchres in England, Professor Sheingorn has produced in her introduction a superb study of the ceremonies, rites, and dramas associated with this structure.
"We are fortunate that Pamela Sheingorn has been able to present us with bountiful evidence of English—and by clear inference, Continental—use of this ritual object."—from Medieval Music-Drama News (Winter 1988)
"As a work of reference on an unusual aspect of mediaeval life, liturgy and devotion as well as art, it is never likely to be surpassed."—Derek Ingram Hill in Churchscape (1989)
"Sheingorn's study primarily consists of a catalogue of all known Easter sepulchres in England, but it also offers a rich bibliography and an extended essay on the history of this architectural fixture and its place in religious life. I know of no account elsewhere which captures as this study does the way that liturgy, spirituality and everyday life as it was lived in concrete material existence were intertwined in the medieval period."—C. Clifford Flanigan in The Theatre of Medieval Europe (1991)
