With 104 plates and 25 text illustrations. This book is based on lectures given at the Courtauld Institute of Art, and under the auspices of the Rask-Örsted Foundation in Copenhagen, It deals chiefly with the art of the period covered by Dr. R. H. Hodgkin in the first two volumes of his 'History of the Anglo-Saxons' (Oxford, 1935), though I have not included an account of the art of the Vikings and have added two introductory chapters dealing with Celtic and Romano-British art. I hope to describe the Late Saxon art of the Viking Period and the time of the Conquest in a subsequent volume, and my aim is that the two books together should form a fairly complete account of the foundations of the English medieval style.
