Description
Taking an approach to medieval art, this title reveals the importance of movement in the physical, emotional, and intellectual experience of art and architecture in the Middle Ages. It offers a collection of interdisciplinary essays that explores a range of rituals, performances, works of art, and texts in which movement is crucial to meaning.
Reviews
"Brilliantly produced and abundantly illustrated... [This book is] invested in art's material, corporeal, spatial, and specifically kinetic dimensions."--David S. Areford, Oxford Art Journal
