| Abstract | While the early medieval 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 medieval perceptions of its materiality- in relation to other materials and monuments- with two further sessions devoted to early encounters with the sculptures (antiquarian and scholarly) and contemporary interrogations. |
