This engaging study introduces the reader to one of the greatest
achievements of Western art: the climactic phase of Gothic
architecture in the first half of the thirteenth century. Through a
comparative analysis of the cathedrals of Chartres, Reims, and
Amiens, the author illuminates the technical, theological,
artistic, and social factors that formed the High Gothic synthesis.
Drawing on a lifetime of scholarship, he successively characterizes
the different parts of the Gothic cathedral and describes the human
context of the three great buildings.
