Description
The green man or foliate head can be found in almost every pre-Reformation cathedral and in many churches. It often decorates arches, corbels, roof bosses, choir stalls and chancel screens. In this book, Imogen Corrigan takes the reader on a journey of discovery in which she reveals the different types of foliate head in their contexts and also explore their origins in folklore and Christian tradition. Taking us through pagan folklore and fertility rites, along with labyrinths, dragon and other monsters, the author also uncovers the religious symbolism of the foliate head which was depicted in a variety of ways, some beautiful and some grotesque. Accompanied by a wide range of illustrations showing different styles of foliate head in a wide variety of cathedrals and churches, this book is an essential companion for those who visit sacred places, whether for spiritual, architectural or historical reasons.
