Description:
A richly illustrated and detailed account of history through a style of art, Last Judgment Iconography in the Carpathians will find a receptive audience with art historians, religious scholars, and slavists.
Brief description: John-Paul Himka is a professor in the Department of History and Classics at the University of Alberta.
Review Quotes: 'A thoroughly original monograph, one which should be of interest to a variety of specialists in the history of culture, religion, and society of any place where Orthodox Last Judgment Iconography has an impact. Himka's excellent combination of art and social history is a sound reminder that before the late sixteenth century the easternmost and westernmost East Slavs shared a common cultural base.'
