| Abstract | While the early medieval stone sculpture of Britain and Ireland has long been studied in formalist and iconographic terms, its phenomenology is relatively under-researched. This session will be one of three devoted to this aspect of the material from the point of view of early encounters, antiquarian and scholarly, with the monuments: in Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, and Yorkshire. This will introduce the study of early medieval Insular sculpture from the point of view of its materiality, with two further sessions devoted to medieval engagements with the subject and contemporary interrogations. |
