Tributes to T.A. Heslop
From Miniature to Monumental: Studies in Medieval Art and Architecture
Edited by Lloyd De Beer Edited by Helen Lunnon Edited by Zachary Stewart
Ranging in subject from cathedrals and castles to seal matrices and illuminated manuscripts, these essays pay tribute to T. A. Heslop’s wide-ranging impact as a scholar and a teacher, charting new paths for the study of the material culture of medieval Britain.
From Miniature to Monumental: Studies in the Material Culture of Medieval Britain is a multi-author volume honouring Sandy Heslop, Emeritus Professor of Visual Culture at the University of East Anglia. Over the past forty-five years, Sandy has made an enormous contribution to the field of medieval art history through his incisive investigations of material ranging from seal matrices and illuminated manuscripts to castles and cathedrals. One of the hall marks of Professor Heslop’s work, which has focused almost exclusively on the art and architecture of medieval England, is the extraordinarily sensitive way in which he situates his diverse objects of study in their richly varied political, social, and historiographical contexts. The book is divided into five thematic sections: Material Production and Cultural Exchange; Ceremony, Space and Place; Imagination and Invention; Text, Image and Experience; Image, Agency and Authority. The volume’s twenty-three contributors – an international roster of established and emerging scholars active in the fields of art history, architectural history, archaeology, history, and literary studies-share this intellectual commitment to exploring the productive entanglement of people, things, and ideas across time and space. Their work, as presented in this book, represents a kaleidoscopic view of research on the material culture of medieval Britain-a changing field whose expanding margins, methods, and objectives have been indelibly shaped by Professor Heslop’s writing, teaching, and generous collegiality
