An enduring contribution to our historical understanding for, and appreciation of, the Bayeux Tapestry
J. Bard McNulty (former Chairman of the Department of English, Trinity College, Hartford) is an acclaimed expert on the Bayeux Tapestry having written "The Narrative Art of the Bayeux Tapestry Master" (1989), as well as having lectured on the tapestry in number academic conferences in the United States, England, France, and Italy. In Visual Meaning In The Bayeux Tapestry: Problems And Solutions In Picturing History, Professor McNulty begins with an introduction to the anomalies of the Tapestry's account of William the Conqueror's invasion and conquest of England in 1066 AD, and the use of pictures as vehicles of historical narrative. Professor McNulty then turns to addressing modern difficulties with the Tapestry's account and the expanding context of Tapestry studies. Additional chapters are devoted to "Borders: Relationships Among Images"; "A Case Study: Harold in France"; and "The Tapestry's 'Kind'". Enhanced with extensive Notes, a Bibliography, and an index, Visual Meaning In The Bayeux Tapestry is a seminal and highly recommended work of impeccable scholarship, representing an enduring contribution to our historical understanding for, and appreciation of, the Bayeux Tapestry.
