This deeply researched and insightful book fills a significant lacuna in the study of medieval sculpture, portraiture, and commemoration. It makes a vital contribution to the field's 'material turn,' bringing together monuments in stone, metal, and stucco to reveal both their distinctive properties and their interconnections. At the same time, Fozi never lets us forget the real human beings these tombs honored or the communities that took pride in and comfort from these depictions. -Jacqueline E. Jung, author of Eloquent Bodies: Movement, Expression, and the Human Figure in Gothic Sculpture This is a must-have resource. -D. K. Haworth, Choice
