Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating realm of English medieval architecture, specifically focusing on the Gothic style that flourished from the Norman Conquest to the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It challenges the traditional classification of architectural periods, proposing instead an evolutionary approach that traces the development of key features like vaulting, buttressing, and window tracery. The author emphasizes the interconnectedness of architectural styles, arguing that each period seamlessly transitioned from its predecessor, creating a unified historical narrative. The book explores the origins of English Gothic architecture, drawing connections to earlier Romanesque styles in Normandy and other European regions. Richly illustrated with photographs, sketches, and measured drawings, it offers a comprehensive analysis of the structural and aesthetic elements that define Gothic churches. By examining the intricate details of planning, construction, and ornamentation, the author sheds light on the ingenuity and artistry of medieval builders. This book invites readers on an illuminating journey through the evolution of English Gothic architecture, revealing the profound logic and beauty embedded within its walls.
