Summary
Drawing on extensive modern research, this book now supercedes Dr. Joan Evans' English Jewellery, published over 70 years ago. Covering a span of almost eight centuries, from the Norman Conquest to the accession of Queen Victoria, it is as instructive to the social historian as to the jewelry enthusiast, since it tells us not only what the pieces looked like but sets them in their social context. It is, too, a particular strength of the book that the author has been able to illustrate it with so many pieces from private collections which would otherwise not be readily accessible for study. Diana Scarisbrick has been steadily gaining a reputation in this field; Jewellery in Britain 1066-1837 will deservedly establish her as an authority.
