Synopsis

This book charts the evolution of Gothic architecture from its origins in the Roman period through the sixteenth century. The author, an expert in the field, takes readers on a chronological journey, explaining how Gothic architecture emerged, developed, and influenced later styles. The book is particularly strong in its analysis of the Norman style, which emerged in England after the Norman Conquest and left a lasting impact on ecclesiastical architecture. The author discusses how this style evolved over time, from its early, more primitive forms, to its later, more refined and elaborate expressions. The book is richly illustrated with photographs and drawings of key architectural features and provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in medieval architecture and history.
