Art in England fills a void in the scholarship of both English and medieval art by offering the first single volume overview of artistic movements in Medieval and Early Renaissance England. Grounded in history and using the chronology of the reign of monarchs as a structure, it is contextual and comprehensive, revealing unobserved threads of continuity, patterns of intention and unique qualities that run through English art of the medieval millennium. By placing the English movement in a European context, this book brings to light many ingenious innovations that focused studies tend not to recognize and offers a fresh look at the movement as a whole. The media studied include architecture and related sculpture, both ecclesiastical and secular; tomb monuments; murals, panel paintings, altarpieces, and portraits; manuscript illuminations; textiles; and art by English artists and by foreign artists commissioned by English patrons

Die Erinnerung an das Reich der mittelalterlichen Könige und Kaiser nahm in der nationalsozialistischen Geschichts- und Kulturpolitik eine herausragende Stellung ein. Das Reich Karls des Großen und die Jahrhunderte der "deutschen Kaiserzeit", die Zeit der Ottonen, Salier und Staufer, galten als erste Phase "deutscher Größe" und als Vorwegnahme und historische Rechtfertigung des von den Nationalsozialisten angestrebten "großgermanischen Reiches". Von dieser völkisch-nationalistischen Deutung des Mittelalters, deren Wurzeln bis ins 19. Jahrhundert zurückreichen, blieb auch die Sicht auf die mittelalterliche Kunst nicht unbeeinflusst. Im Mittelalter wurde der Anfang "deutscher Kunst" gesucht, in der mittelalterlichen Kunst sah man einen frühen Ausdruck des deutschen Nationalcharakters, und entsprechend konnte sie sowohl als Vorbild für eine neu zu schaffende, nationale und "volksverbundene" Kunst in Anspruch genommen als auch gegen die "Entartungen" der modernen Kunst ins Feld geführt werden. Im Zentrum der Publikation steht die Praxis der Mittelalter-Kunstgeschichte im Nationalsozialismus, ihre Vorgeschichte und unmittelbare Folge. Es geht um eine Analyse der Gegenstände, Begriffe, Methoden und Deutungsmuster, mit denen mediävistische Kunstgeschichte im Nationalsozialismus operierte. Ein zweiter Themenschwerpunkt liegt auf der Popularisierung des Mittelalterbildes in Schrifttum, Film und Veranstaltungen.

In the fourth century the idea arose that the Cross on which Christ was crucified had been found by Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine. Thus began a legend that would grow and flourish throughout the Middle Ages and cause the diffusion of countless splinters of holy wood. And where there is wood, there was once a tree. Could it be that the Cross was made from that most noble species, the Tree of Life? So, gathering characters along the way, the legend evolved into a tale that stretches from the Creation to the End of Time. A Heritage of Holy Wood is the first reconstruction of the iconographic and literary tradition of the Legend of the True Cross. Its broad scope encompasses relic cults, pilgrimages, travellers' tales and the Tree of Life and involves Church Fathers, crusader kings, Teutonic Knights and mendicant orders, all of which influenced the legend's depiction from its earliest representation in manuscripts, reliquaries and altarpieces, to the great monumental cycles of the high Middle Ages. If the holy wood was the medium of medieval memory, A Heritage of Holy Wood reveals the growth rings of fifteen centuries of imagery.
