About This Item
E-093: Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK. 2000. 189 pgs. Illustrated. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. This book is concerned with the pictorial language of gesture revealed in Anglo-Saxon art, and its debt to classical Rome. The late Reginald Dodwell, an eminent art historian, notes a striking similarity of both form and meaning between Anglo-Saxon gestures and those in illustrated manuscripts of the plays of Terence, which, he argues, reflect actual Roman stage conventions. The extensively illustrated volume illuminates our understanding of the vigor of late Anglo-Saxon art and its ability to absorb and transpose continental influence. E-151; Cambridge Studies in Anglo-Saxon England; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 189 pages .
