Gothic Architecture by Paul Frankl

Description

"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 show more that, an analysis of the essence of the Gothic style and of the ideas that inspired its development."--BOOK JACKET. show less

Disappointing. It's a fairly good book on French church architecture of the epoch, but there is so much more about gothic architecture than just that.
