| Abstract
|
:
|
Kirk Ambrose provides a new account of the sculptural ensemble at this important French Romanesque monastic church. He devotes most of his analysis to the nave capitals. He considers how these works intersect with various aspects of monastic culture, from poetry to a sign language used during observed periods of silence. Many of the sculptures resonated with communal practices and interpretive modes in use at the site. Ambrose explores historically specific ways this ensemble cohered for medieval viewers. Themes include hagiography, ornament, and violence, and examines serial imagery.--Back cover
