Reviews
[Munns] demonstrates clearly the interdependence of theology, artistic production, devotion, philosophy, individual agency, and religious institutions that characterize the development of human thought. In doing so, he also demonstrates his own magisterial grasp of them. * SPECULUM *
Beautifully produced .. Munns has complied a remarkably comprehensive overview of the centrality of the Cross in English society. [His] lavishly illustrated study opens a window onto the rich and vibrant visual culture of post-Conquest England, shedding new light on contemporary expressions of devotion and of individual spiritual practices. * ART AND CHRISTIANITY *
Both a good read and an original contribution to its complex subject. * CHURCH TIMES *
[A] truly impressive interdisciplinary study of a period of art history that has long merited more scholarly attention. . . . Cross and Culture in Anglo-Norman England is a monumental work of scholarship that will long be a primary point of reference for medievalists in a variety of fields. * CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW *
