The narratives of Gothic stained glass

In The Narratives of Gothic Stained Glass, Wolfgang Kemp examines stained glass painting of Early and High Gothic France and England from a variety of perspectives. Examining narrative structure and themes, authors and donors, Kemp compares these works to epic forms and themes in literature. The first study of stained glass from a narratological standpoint, Kemp's groundbreaking work also relates these paintings to their immediate architectural contexts.
