About the book
"This study of Gothic architecture traces the meaning and development of the Gothic style through medieval churches across Europe. Ranging geographically from Poland to Portugal and from Sicily to Scotland and chronologically from 1093 to 1530, the book analyzes changes from Romanesque to Gothic as well as the evolution within the Gothic style and places these changes in the context of the creative spirit of the Middle Ages. This book is a history - a view of things created, and more than that, an analysis of the essence of the Gothic style and of the ideas that inspired its development."--BOOK JACKET.
First sentence: In its breadth of outlook, its command of detail and its theoretical enterprise, Frankl's Gothic Architecture has few equals in the ambitious Pelican History of Art series.
