Duncan Givans: Grad. Student at Warwick University, UK
I am working on English Romanesque architectural sculpture,
particularly tympana. My interests are in the way buildings were
constructed for the display of decorative schemes and symbolic
imagery and the evidence presented by sculpture preserved in local
churches for the nature of lay piety and devotion. Since most of my
material is preserved in local churches I am interested in the
nature of various core-periphery relationships between local
churches/ manor communities and great churches/ regular communities.
I am also interested in other aspects of Latin and Orthodox art,
culture and society during the central Middle Ages.
