This study of upper-class women in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries corrects that oversight, uncovering the active role they undertook in choosing designs, materials, and locations for monuments, commissioning repairs and additions to many parish churches, chantry chapels, and almshouses characteristic of the English countryside. Their preferred art, Barbara J. Harris shows, reveals their responses to the religious revolution and signifies their preferred identities.Gendering the late medieval and early modern world ;2.Women and religionEnglandHistory15th centuryWomen and religionEnglandHistory16th centuryUpper class womenEnglandHistory15th centuryUpper class womenEnglandHistory16th centuryArt patronageEnglandHistory15th centuryArt patronageEnglandHistory16th centuryChurch decoration and ornamentEnglandHistory15th centuryChurch decoration and ornamentEnglandHistory16th centuryChurch architectureEnglandHistory15th centuryChurch architectureEnglandHistory16th centuryReligious artEnglandHistory15th centuryReligious artEnglandHistory16th centuryEnglandChurch history15th centuryEnglandChurch history16th centuryElectronic books.Female patronage of architecture.Yorkist and early Tudor aristocratic women.architecture, 1450-1550.female piety.parish churches.Women and religionHistoryWomen and religionHistoryUpper class womenHistoryUpper class womenHistoryArt patronageHistoryArt patronageHistoryChurch decoration and ornamentHistoryChurch decoration and ornamentHistoryChurch architectureHistoryChurch architectureHistoryReligious artHistoryReligious artHistory274.205Harris Barbara J(Barbara Jean),1942-869993UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996433050003316English aristocratic women and the fabric of piety, 1450-15501942313UNISA
