  This book documents a unique collaboration between the medieval historian Phillip Lindley and the artist Richard Deacon. Medieval Sculpture evokes the cataclysmic events of the religious Reformation of the sixteen century that transformed British culture forever. Sculptures from the twelfth to the sixteenth century are discussed in terms of their power across the ages to evoke both inspired passionate devotion and vehement, even violent, disapproval. Extensively illustrated throughout.
