Mirror In Parchment: The Luttrell Psalter And The Making Of Medieval England

Michael Camille

4/5 ( ratings)

The British Library's Luttrell Psalter is probably the best-known of all English illuminated manuscripts. Even before it was bought for the nation in 1929, social historians were using it to illustrate early-14th-century agrarian life in the Midlands. This book presents a detailed analysis and critique of the use of these illuminations as records of historical experience, and an examination of the relationship between them and the construction of time past.
