Hugh Arnold

Hugh Arnold is known today for Stained Glass of the Middle Ages in England and France, a work that has remained available through Project Gutenberg and is still associated with his name in public-domain book collections.

The surviving public information about him is quite limited, but the evidence available points to Arnold as a writer with a strong interest in medieval stained glass and the artistic traditions of England and France. Rather than being remembered for a large body of popular books, he is chiefly noted for this specialized contribution to art and architectural history.

Because reliable biographical details are scarce in the sources available, it is safest to remember him as a careful commentator on medieval glasswork whose book continues to introduce readers to the subject.
