Journal of Stained Glass, 2019

Medieval stained glass. In embarking on this guest editorial, it was salutary to realise that I have been researching post-medieval stained glass for fifty years. Originally my interest centred on stained glass of the eighteenth to twentieth centuries, that is to say the 'long' Gothic Revival. The Gothic Revival is, ineluctably, at the core of this Special Issue. The term 'Gothic' was not used in the Middle Ages (it was a construct of the Italian Renaissance, signifying 'barbaric' as opposed to classical architecture), and the concept of its 'revival' is open to multiple interpretations. In the eighteenth century it was applied to literature and architecture before it was extended to stained glass, but in the present context its principal significance is the connotation that something important was being revived-the art and craft of stained glass as practised in the Middle Ages. The slight shift between the English 'Gothic Revival' and its European variants-néogothique, neo-gotico, neugotisch, nieuwe gothic-partly explains the tendency of English stained glass after 1840 to be gauged on its archaeological accuracy. Self-evidently, in order to comprehend its revival, it was imperative to become acquainted with the corpus of medieval stained glass that had inspired the revival.

Thinking of the Medieval: Midcentury Intellectuals and the Middle Ages , 2022

Introduction to *Thinking of the Medieval: Midcentury Intellectuals and the Middle Ages* Cambridge University Press, 2022. The mid-twentieth century gave rise to a rich array of new approaches to the study of the Middle Ages by both professional medievalists and those more well-known from other pursuits, many of whom continue to exert their influence over politics, art, and history today. Attending to the work of a diverse and transnational group of intellectuals – Hannah Arendt, Erich Auerbach, W. E. B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, Erwin Panofsky, Simone Weil, among others – the essays in this volume shed light on these thinkers in relation to one another and on the persistence of their legacies in our own time. This interdisciplinary collection gives us a fuller and clearer sense of how these figures made some of their most enduring contributions with medieval culture in mind. Thinking of the Medieval is a timely reminder of just how vital the Middle Ages have been in shaping modern thought.

The appearance of a new História de Portugal (Esfera dos Livros, 2009) always arouses some expectations, and even curiosity, particularly amongst the community of historians, and above all when one can still consider the last two similar initiatives produced in this area to be quite recent affairs. I am talking, in this latter instance, about the two collective works, one edited by Joel Serrão and A. H. de Oliveira Marques, which is not yet completed, 2 and the other by José Mattoso, 3 for the histories written by individuals already date from some time ago. 4 The authors, whom I wish to begin by congratulating on their efforts, identify themselves as the representatives of a new generation of historians whose responsibility it is to transmit the latest novelties produced by the recent efforts of enormous and wide-ranging collective research: "It was time for the historians from the new generations (without forgetting what they owe to their predecessors) to attempt to place the History that is being written nowadays in touch with the general public," is what is stated in the "Prologue," 5 even though shortly afterwards, and in my view somewhat overly optimistically, it is said that "the reader that we have envisaged for this book is a demanding one" (I-II). In fact, I do not share the same faith as the authors in identifying the vast majority of the "general public" as demanding readers ... Having been invited to take part at this conference in the panel dedicated to the study of the Middle Ages, I should like to dedicate my first reflections to some of the statements contained in the presentation or "Prologue" of a work that, I should like to
