About the Book

A fascinating look at England's place in the wider European community in the twelfth century, based on close study of the texts, scripts and decoration of manuscripts.

This book is concerned with England's engagement with continental Europe, especially France and Normandy, from 1066 until around 1200. It is based primarily on a close scrutiny of the texts, script and decoration of the survivingmanuscripts, a wide range of which are illustrated here. It charts the transformation of the perceived view of England as isolated on the geographical and intellectual periphery of Europe to a position of crucial importance withinthe wider European community.

Adapted and expanded from Rodney Thompson's Lyell Lectures delivered at Oxford University in 2001, this richly illustrated book has long been difficult to find. It will be of interest to cultural and art historians, researchers into British and European history, and anyone with an interest in the history of the book.
