The Correspondence of Dante Gabriel Rossetti: The Formative Years, 1835-1862: Charlotte Street to Cheyne Walk. I. 1835-1854 FROM THE PUBLISHER
The fantastic is a major element in medieval art, whether as grotesques in church carvings or in the nightmare visions of Hieronymus Bosch. This work, appearing in English for the first time, covers the topic in rich detail, arguing that the monsters and exotic ornaments that pervade medieval art stem from the pagan past, from Islam and from the Far East.
