A comprehensive, sophisticated and long overdue survey of the development of Gothic church window tracery. * CHURCH MONUMENTS *
It will be a most useful vade mecum for the enthusiastic church visitor. [...] A comprehensive overview of English parochial tracery design. * ECCLESIOLOGY TODAY *
Anyone interested in medieval windows will enjoy the great range of examples put forward and discussed by Hart, whose book is a timely reminder of the ingenuity and creativity of England's medieval masons. * JOURNAL OF THE INSTITUTE OF HISTORIC BUILDING CONSERVATION *
A perceptive, informative, beautifully written, and well-illustrated study of the topic. * SOCIETY OF ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIANS NEWSLETTER *
In a methodical, clear and notably well-illustrated fashion (there are good plates of some 300 windows) it traces the evolution of tracery through the Lancet, Geometric, Curvilinear and Perpendicular styles. * BRITISH ARCHAEOLOGY *
The varieties of such stonework are splendidly analysed and illustrated. -- Christopher Howse * DAILY TELEGRAPH *
