Owing to their quality, complexity and magnificence, English embroideries enjoyed international demand and can be traced in Continental sources as \u003ci\u003eopus anglicanum\u003c\/i\u003e (English work). Essays by leading experts explore the embroideries' artistic and social context, while catalogue entries examine individual masterpieces. Medieval embroiderers lived in a tightly knit community in London, and many were women who can be identified by name. Comparisons between their work and contemporary painting challenge modern assumptions about the hierarchy of artistic media. Contributors consider an outstanding range of examples, highlighting their craftsmanship and exploring the world in which they were created. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Victoria and Albert Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clare Browne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300259980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300259988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 9.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Clare Browne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043226743039,"sku":"9780300259988","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08450b7c-cd03-45a0-b3a9-f4a68d07b86b.jpg?v=1684965949","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/english-medieval-embroidery-clare-browne-9780300259988","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
