'The Crosses of the Isle of Man. A study of early Manx stone-carving: its background, significance and merit'
Date(s): 1950s-2020s
Creator(s): Cain, Pauline Anderson
Scope & Content: Illustrated project work submitted to Madeley College of Education, Staffs where the author studied Fine Art with English. Paulne Cain asserts that the examples illustrated 'show an arresting boldness of design. They reveal also a highly developed sense of proportion, form and balance, which is all the more remarkable in view of the crudity of life then, even for the most affluent' (p.49). The differences between Celtic and Scandinavian design are noted. She closes with a telling of her version of the Scandinavian Sigurd legend, illustrated with drawings from representations of the story on Manx crosses.
