英语翻译Richard N.Bailey some of the issues involved,particularly now that the survey work (if not full publication) of the British Academy’s Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture is so far advanced.The first point to make is a comfortingly negative one.Apart from a major find at York Minster showing scenes from the Sigurd story (Lang 1991,ill.145),no new pieces which might be interpreted as depicting mythology have emerged.The English stone carving corpus of mythology remains therefore relatively small - a conclusion which is not perhaps very surprising given that the overall incidence of figural sculpture represents a minute proportion of the totality of Viking-age carvings in England.
