Experts and non-experts alike will find much to delight and challenge them in Kessler's rich embroidery of text and image. - Mary Carruthers, New York University

This innovative and deeply learned survey of the current state of medieval art history, organized enticingly according to eight of the issues that have engaged specialists most fruitfully over the past 15 years, is a stunning achievement. Lively in tone, interdisciplinary in approach, ecumenical in focus, afire with important insights on virtually every page, and packed with up-to-date bibliography, Herbert Kessler's newest work shows us better than any other book I know why medieval art matters-and how our own seeing of it has grown evermore interesting. I urge experts and general enthusiasts alike to read this book now. - Peter Low, Williams College
