Synopsis:
This book is an exploration of the architectural character of mediaeval church buildings in England. The author presents a critical analysis of many churches, contrasting their structural design with the Gothic style popular at the time their Norman predecessors were constructed. The author contends that English and French Gothic are fundamentally different styles, one being an organic system from the outset and the other a later evolution of an inorganic system. The author's main thesis is that English Gothic architecture grew out of its Anglo -Norman roots in a way that was distinct from the Gothic cathedrals of France, despite drawing inspiration from the French style. The book explores the characteristics of both styles, delving into their technical aspects such as vaulting systems, buttressing, and ornamentation to illustrate this difference. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of architecture and the evolution of the Gothic style.
