Description

The Bayeux Tapestry by Carola Hicks & Sylvette Lemagnen

Issued in commemoration of the 950th Anniversary of the Battle of Hastings.

This volume brings together two works and superb colour photographs to provide both a comprehensive historical background to and a detailed description of the Bayeux Tapestry.The book opens with Carola Hicks‘s compelling account of the Tapestry’s creation and subsequent life story. The very origins of this unique artwork have fuelled controversy; it has been lost and found, dismissed and treasured, used as a propaganda tool and spirited through war zones. In short, the Tapestry’s history is almost as dramatic as the events it depicts. Hick’s study is followed by a scene-by-scene analysis of the Tapestry’s 69 metre narrative, by Bayeux Museum curator Sylvette Lemagnen. Together, these two works provide an entertaining and authoritative survey of this enigmatic artefact.
