"Medieval English pottery 'may be claimed, quite simply, as the most beautiful pottery ever made in England. It is 'now recognized as worthy of comparison for (its) nobility of form with the early Chinese wares so much admired today as the finest of all pottery. Thus wrote W. B. Honey in his preface to the first edition of Bernard Rackham's classic pioneering work in 1948. Since then medieval archaeology, for which pottery is the essential working material, has made great strides, and there have been many discoveries that have led to a progressive synthesis of our knowledge of these wares. The task of revising Medieval English Pottery and giving it the precision of dating and attribution now possible has been undertaken by J. G. Hurst of the Department of the Environment, a leading authority in the field and supervisor of a number of medieval archaeological sites throughout the country. Much important detail has been added in the captions and else- where in the new edition - though the essential character of the book re- mains unchanged. The bibliography has been revised and expanded, and four extra colour plates have been included.".
