English Aristocratic Women and the Fabric of Piety, 1450-1550 Hardback
by Barbara Harris
Part of the Gendering the Late Medieval and Early Modern World series
Hardback
Description
The role played by women in the evolution of religious art and architecture has been largely neglected.
This study of upper-class women in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries corrects that oversight, uncovering the active role they undertook in choosing designs, materials, and locations for monuments, commissioning repairs and additions to many parish churches, chantry chapels, and almshouses characteristic of the English countryside.
Their preferred art, Barbara J. Harris shows, reveals their responses to the religious revolution and signifies their preferred identities.
