16 new and innovative studies by 17 authors, on the Bayeux Tapestry.
These 16 essays in honour of a distinguished Bayeux Tapestry scholar consider the contexts of the Tapestry’s creation and preservation; new studies of its fabric, also its images; plus accounts of new creative and commemorative works inspired by it. David Bates emphasises the cross-Channel, indeed the European, culture underlying the Tapestry’s creation. Pierre Bouet and Francois Neveux seek to recognise the role of the Bretons in 11th-century Norman history and the conquest of England. Elizabeth Carson Pastan discusses the lost relics of Bayeux inventoried alongside the Tapestry. Ulrich Kuder and Michael Lewis revisit and evaluate theories about aspects of the Tapestry’s images. Alexandra Lester-Makin uses microscopic images of a single scene to reveal details of how the embroidery was worked. Sarah Keefer explores the liturgy which Harold might have heard when he attended church before setting out to sea. Gale Owen-Crocker analyses the role of boundaries, and the breaking of them, in the Tapestry’s images and Malcolm Thurlby considers its buildings in terms of contemporary architecture. Michael Herren discusses the verisimilitude of art works in classical and medieval poetry and shows how they differ. Anna Henderson and Lise Gjedsso Bertelsen examine recent, Bayeux-inspired historical needlework in the British Isles and Denmark respectively, Bruce Bobick traces the history of an American facsimile. Sylvette Lemagnen addresses novels written under the influence of the Bayeux Tapestry, and Daisy Black the evolution of her own play. Clementine Pasquet-Berthelot considers the various ways in which scholars have attempted to reference precise points in the Tapestry.
