"Superb, razor-sharp reproductions which give a proper sense of the
beauty and power of the medium… its intellectual value is
undoubted."—Paul Binski, Art Newspaper
“There are over 160 full colour illustrations found herein and a
wealth of historical information offered in the essays that
accompany each chapter. If you are interested in Opus Anglicanum or
the inheritance of medieval English Catholic culture, this is a
work you will want to pick up for your collection.”—Shawn Tribe,
Liturgical Arts Journal
"Not only a catalogue and scholarly monograph, but a visual feast,
with magnificent colour plates on virtually every page, bursting at
the seams with titbits of fascinating information. It’s the sort of
book that makes you want to hug yourself with glee: revelatory and
as exquisitely produced as the medieval embroidery it
celebrates."—Juliet Barker, Literary Review
‘This beautifully produced new book […] fills a notable gap in
current literature on English embroidery.’ — Frances Pritchard,
Textile History
