The book presents a broad panoramic overview of church architecture
in the Russian North between the fourteenth and nineteenth
centuries. While it is inevitably overshadowed by the imperial
splendour of the country's capital cities, this unique phenomenon
is regarded as the most distinctive national expression of
traditional Russian artistic culture and at the same time as a
significant part of humanity's worldwide architectural heritage.
The chief intention of the book is to present the regionally
specific features of the wooden churches of the Russian North,
which vary from area to area for local natural or historical
reasons. This approach touches upon the very important questions of
the typology and classification of the multiplicity of
architectural forms. The "regional view" entails giving clear
definitions of the ambiguous terms "architectural school" and
"tradition", explaining the origins and shaping impulses for the
different regional clusters of objects. Structurally the book
presents a history of the development of wooden church architecture
in the Russian North and then follows the key points of the
mediaeval Russian expansion along the waterways from Novgorod into
the North - he Svir' River, Lake Onego, the town of Kargopol' and
the River Onega, the White Sea, the Rivers Dvina, Pinega and Mezen'
- those areas that still retain the most splendid pieces of Russian
regional wooden church architecture. The study is based on field
research and provides an up-to-date, multi-faceted view of Russian
wooden architecture.
