Sinopsis

English Decorated Style flourished from the mid-13th-century in the reign of Henry III to the mid-14th under his great grandson Edward III. Although it is usually portrayed purely as a style of architecture, this style is better understood as a fusion of architecture and ornament - paint, stained glass and sculpture - which creates specific effects. The style was one of display, created primarily for churches and the Christian message of salvation, but secular elements - chivalry and heraldry - were important in its appearance. Intended to enable a congregation to realise the mystical experience of God and the saints, Decorated is illusionistic and transcendental, representing the kingdom of heaven in an earthly setting. As many of its ornamental features were destroyed in the Reformation and later, the style can be difficult to comprehend. This book examines the style not only as an architectural phenomenon, but in the context of contemporary spiritual and secular attitudes and liturgical and political developments. It also discusses the complementary roles of craftsmen and patrons.

Condiciones de env�o

Postage and packing is charged at our rate listed with ABE. However it is worth pointing out that UK postage just goes on going up and that sending a huge Fine Art book to Timbuctoo is simply not going to travel there for six or seven quid. On more recent listings we include a warning to this effect in the description of heavier books. We feel that clarifying this is in everyone's best interests and mention it because mostly we're not paperback merchants and include a sizeable number of hefty books in our stock. Even surface mail is creeping up and in due course may it may be that we're entering a time when sending heavy books overseas will soon be no longer feasible unless you're happy to take out a mortgage for the fee. We've tried the alternatives to Royal Mail and by and large for us they've been found wanting.
