Dubbed the Cathedral of France and first church of French
Christendom, the Gothic cathedral of Reims was the coronation site
of more than two dozen French kings--and a target of German
bombardment in World War I. Before 1914 its medieval stained glass
had enjoyed the fame of Chartres and Bourges. The first extensive
study focusing on the stained glass of this preeminent cathedral,
The Gothic Stained Glass of Reims Cathedral offers a groundbreaking
analysis of its glazing program. Through unique insights into the
clerical agenda and its influence over a building devoted to the
coronation of the French monarchy, Lillich considers the stained
glass in the context of building chronology, political events, and
artistic movements to present a completely new understanding of the
stained glass of Reims.
