Dr Charles Tracy is a leading scholar on the history and development of medieval British church furniture. He has published widely in article and book form on British and European monuments, from choir-stalls, screens, pulpits, benches, lecterns and episcopal thrones. When he began, woodwork studies were pretty much in abeyance. Today they are attracting the interest of research students as well as the general public.
The volume contains grippingly intelligent art-historical writing
of the highest standard throughout.
