The St William Window at York MinsterRediscovering a Miraculous Narrative\nAuthor(s): Christopher Norton, Sarah Brown\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Profile Books Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Profile Editions\nISBN-13: 9781805225607, 978-1805225607\nSynopsis\nThe St William Window at York Minster is one of the greatest surviving English works of art of the late medieval era. It forms one of three monumental stained-glass narratives created at York Minster in the first decades of the fifteenth century, and like its world-famous neighbour the Great East Window, it is the work of the master glazier John Thornton. The window's monumental scale is matched by its breathtaking artistry, which bears comparison with the finest surviving artistic representations of saints' life cycles of the age.\n\nThe window's subject is the life and miracles of St William of York, a controversial twelfth-century archbishop whose shrine within the Minster became the focus of a major medieval miracle cult.
