This book is a collection of six lectures delivered by the author in 1916-17. The author argues that the Gothic style of architecture was not merely a development of earlier styles, but a complete break with the past. He traces the origins of Gothic architecture to the early Christian basilicas of Rome, and shows how the Gothic style evolved over time to become a unique and distinctive expression of Christian faith. The author also explores the relationship between Gothic architecture and other aspects of medieval life, such as politics, philosophy, and art. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of architecture or the Middle Ages.
