I intend to explore how female identity was expressed by the material trappings of popular religion in medieval Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman England. I hope to establish a constancy in the symbiotic relationship between women and artistic objects, which has been obscured by art historical traditions dominated by patriarchal structures and reductive art historical 'periods'. Recent developments in the study of material objects associated with Anglo-Saxon women have recognised the spiritual importance of women during conversion, with potential roots in pagan practices. However, this early significance is believed to have 'faded' as the Middle Ages progressed, and existing studies of later Anglo-Norman art provide only cursory acknowledgements of Anglo-Saxon artistic 'survival'. My project will start with the premise that the establishment of 'Anglo-Saxon' and 'Romanesque' distinctions in art historical scholarship have obscured the continued importance of women, and their contributions to the development of ecclesiastical styles (in particular the promotion of Anglo-Saxon visual traditions). I will compare objects from across the English Middle Ages, including often overlooked works (such as embroidery), with reference to modern art historical theories concerning gender and materiality. This study will significantly develop the understanding of medieval womanhood and disrupt established art historical narratives.

我打算探讨女性身份是如何表达的流行宗教在中世纪盎格鲁-撒克逊和盎格鲁-诺曼英格兰的物质服饰。我希望在女性和艺术对象之间的共生关系中建立一种恒定性，这种关系一直被父权制结构和还原的艺术历史“时期”所主导的艺术历史传统所掩盖。最近在研究与盎格鲁-撒克逊妇女有关的物质对象方面的发展已经认识到妇女在皈依过程中的精神重要性，这可能源于异教习俗。然而，随着中世纪的发展，这种早期的意义被认为已经“褪色”，现有的对盎格鲁-诺曼艺术后期的研究只提供了盎格鲁-撒克逊艺术“生存”的粗略记录。我的项目将从这样一个前提开始，即在艺术史研究中建立“盎格鲁-撒克逊”和“罗马式”的区别掩盖了女性的持续重要性，以及她们对教会风格发展的贡献（特别是对盎格鲁-撒克逊视觉传统的促进）。我将比较来自英国中世纪的物品，包括经常被忽视的作品（如刺绣），并参考有关性别和物质性的现代艺术史理论。这项研究将显着发展的中世纪女性的理解和破坏既定的艺术历史叙事。
