Reviews

"A lovely book... full of provocative ideas" The Daily Telegraph "Full of stimulating material. Woodcock sees the monstrous and the miraculous as interrelated aspects of a world in which the divine was at once unknowable and potentially to be encountered around every corner" Journal of the British Archaeological Association "Clearly written, takes an accessible popular approach and gives a good current overview of the subject" Medieval Archaeology

‘He moves easily from such detail to clear, passionate prose on some of the underlying cultural themes that might explain the many curiosities of this strange and compelling aspect of medieval art’ – Journal of the British Archaeological Association, Jon Cannon
