About this book

Image on the Edge: The Margins of Medieval Art (Essays in Art and Culture) by Camille, Michael. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780674443624.

Camille considers marginalia--in the cathedral, the court, the monastery--in direct and complex relation to the whole work. Ranging through the culture of the Middle Ages, he finds in the margins a distorted yet apt reflection of medieval conventions. It is here that medieval artists found room for experimentation, for parodying, modernizing, and questioning cultural authority without ever undermining it.
