ers, laid out in this stylish manner, like butterflies in some Victorian collector’s cabinet. The variety of shapes and of proportions are enjoyable in their own right, whilst the varied subtle colours of northern English stonework are nowhere shownoff to better effect. It is a feast for the eyes, and it lifts the spirit as well. Ryan’s book is cheap enough, and handsome enough, to be the ideal ‘stocking-filler’ present for the dedicated church-historian. It deserves to be the must-have Christmas present for historians of the northern English church in 2019.

解释中世纪的肖像，从约克郡到 1400 年的证据

ers，以这种时尚的方式布置，就像某些维多利亚时代收藏家橱柜中的蝴蝶。各种形状和比例本身就令人愉悦，而英国北部石雕的各种微妙颜色却无处展示，以达到更好的效果。既是赏心悦目的盛宴，又是振奋精神的盛宴。瑞恩的书足够便宜，也足够漂亮，是献给敬业的教会历史学家的理想“长袜填充物”礼物。它当之无愧地成为 2019 年英国北部教会历史学家必备的圣诞礼物。
