The Bayeux Tapestry
(A) strikingly illustrated book, which reproduces in colour every centimetre of the surviving embroidery. (...) Admirably balanced and informed. SUNDAY TIMES, Books for Christmas round-up 2005.(An) extremely valuable volume. (...) To be valued as both a survey of work on the tapestry and an extremely well presented and coherent analysis of a medieval masterpiece. TOEBI NewsletterA magnificently illustrated book, and as such is extremely practical for study, teaching and happy browsing. FINDS RESEARCH GROUP(Presents) a new slant, particularly the in-depth analysis of the tapestry's indebtedness to Scandinavia's weaponry, ships, and buildings. Recommended. CHOICEPossibly the most authoritative of the many books spawned by the Tapestry. HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEWHandsome and very reasonably priced. Clearly aimed at the student and the general reader rather than at the specialist, it would be an attractive purchase for all three. ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEWA very interesting and informative book.
