Books by Marilyn Stokstad

Medieval Art spans the period from the second to the fifteenth centuries with over 400 illustrations, over 90 in color, four maps, a chronological table, glossary, bibliography, and index.

The castle was far more than a walled and turreted fortress; it was an instrument of social control and the symbol of power, authority and wealth. Stokstad examines the role of the castle in society as well as its use in war, guiding readers from early "motte and bailey" structures to the age of gunpowder.
