Medieval architecture comprises more than the traditional image of Gothic cathedrals and the castles of chivalry. This book looks at their architecture from an entirely fresh perspective. A great variety of buildings - synagogues, halls, and barns - testifies to the diverse communities and interests in western Europe in the centuries between 1150 and 1550.
It treats the subject thematically, seeking what all buildings, both religious and secular, have in common, and how they reflect the material and spiritual concerns of the people who built and used them. It shifts the emphasis away from such areas as France towards the creativity of other regions, including central Europe and Spain. It considers how and why, after four centuries of shaping the landscapes and urban patterns of Europe, medieval styles were superseded by classicism.
