About the author

Dame Joan Evans, DBE was a British historian of French and English mediaeval art.

She was the daughter of antiquarian and businessman John Evans and his third wife Maria Millington Lathbury (1856–1944). In 1950 her book Cluniac Art of the Romanesque Period, which concerned art and sculptures made by the monks of the abbey at Cluny in eastern France, was published by Cambridge University Press.

Reviews

[Kate · Rating 4 out of 5]

Outstanding resource, rendered even more valuable by its timing. Originally published immediately after World War II, Evans' research was carried out in the days before the war. Some of the sites she describes were destroyed; she heartbreakingly dedicates her work to the archaeologists and antiquarians of France.
