Reviews

There is much to be appreciated in this volume. The summary of earlier research relating to the area is both informed and informative ... The evident care and determination with which distinguished scholars have brought this volume through to publication is due testimony to the great respect in which James Lang's memory is held. Yet this book is more than just a tribute. Alongside the sculptures themselves, it is a monumental collection of scholarship that future generations can continue to study and learn from, with growing respect for those who went before them whose hands produced it. Archaeological Journal ... forms a fine memorial to Lang's life work as a teacher and scholar ... Northern Yorkshire is not only work well completed, but work which will continue to influence understanding of the rich corpus of Anglo-Saxon stone sculpture. Journal of Ecclesiastical History ... a work of immense value ... continue[s] the high standards already set by the British Academy Corpus. Northern History Like its predecessors this volume provides a firm foundation for numerous research projects. YAJ (Journal of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society) ... produced to the usual high standards set by this series with a superb set of photographs and authoritative catalogue entries covering the discovery of the stones, description of the sculpture and its geology, with a discussion and bibliography for each stone. There are also introductory essays on the regional geology by John Senior and the inscriptions by John Higgitt. YAJ (Journal of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society) This tremendous addition to the British Academy's Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture is a fitting tribute to James Lang.
