Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher
"The advent of a new millennium is an opportunity to take stock. [Wiley]-Blackwell … has begun to do just that, inaugurating several ambitious series whose aim is to map the past, present, and future of the discipline of art history. The scholar wishing to locate her or his own research and approach in relation to the broad sweep of medieval art history would do well to begin here. For medievalists working today and in future generations, A Companion to Medieval Art will be a valuable reference tool, and, indeed, an inspiration." (CAA Reviews, November 2008)

"The scholarship is of the highest caliber. The endnotes and bibliographies are exhaustive and are excellent sources of material for further inquiry. An important resource for advanced undergraduates and scholars ready to take their studies in medieval art to the next level. Summing Up: Essential. Upper-division undergraduates and up."—CHOICE, December 2006
