It brings together the latest scholarship on early medieval (AD 400-1100) art in Britain, Ireland and beyond.

Her research is primarily focused on early medieval material culture of the Insular world. She is particularly interested in iconography, historiography, monumental art and its use in the early Christian landscape. John Carson is an independent scholar and has recently completed a PhD at Durham University on society and economy in early medieval Northumbria.
