An insightful and overdue study that will pave the way for future research.
*SPECULUM*

[An] excellent work. ... Ambrose's scholarly contribution is fundamental to the progression of the study of Romanesque sculpture.
*MEDIEVAL REVIEW*

Profound and intellectually wide-ranging. ... A book that offers both a fresh and profound perspective on monsters and a superb, original, perspective on the current state of the field and some of its central questions.

Fascinating. To the wonderful sculptures on which the author focuses, he brings knowledge and sound judgment.
