Anne McGee Morganstern is Professor Emerita of the History of Art at Ohio State University. She is the author of Gothic Tombs of Kinship in France, the Low Countries, and England (Penn State, 1999).
“Anne McGee Morganstern's new book reconstructs the history of the
tomb of Count Guillaume de Joigny in an impressively meticulous
fashion. It is a genuine and significant addition to the
literature.”—Walter Cahn,Yale University
“In her thoughtful and thorough High Gothic Sculpture at Chartres
Cathedral, the Tomb of the Count of Joigny, and the Master of the
Warrior Saints, Anne McGee Morganstern reassesses the much-studied
sculpture of the Chartres south transept through innovative
comparisons with the tomb sculpture of Count Guillaume de Joigny.
These investigations clarify the nature of the sculptural workshop
during the thirteenth century, an issue of vital importance to all
who study medieval art. Additionally, she revitalizes the method of
stylistic analysis in a way that is useful to twenty-first-century
readers. This book is a significant contribution to the study of
Gothic sculpture.”—Susan Leibacher Ward,Rhode Island School of
Design, co-director of the Census of Gothic Sculpture in America
