Eminent French literature professor R. Howard Bloch has become
renowned for his insider tours of Paris, given to college students
abroad. Long sought after for his encyclopaedic knowledge of French
cathedrals, Bloch has at last decided to share his intimate
knowledge with a wider audience. Here, six cathedrals-Saint-Denis,
Chartres, Sainte-Chapelle, Reims, Amiens and Notre-Dame-are
illumined in magnificent detail as Bloch, taking us from the High
Middle Ages to the devastating fire that set Notre-Dame ablaze in
2019, traces the evolution of each in turn. Contextualising the
cathedrals within the annals of French history, Bloch animates the
past with lush evocations of architectural splendour-high-flying
buttresses and jewel-encrusted shrines, hidden burial grounds and
secret chambers-and thrilling tales of kingly intrigue, audacious
architects and the meeting of aristocratic and everyday life.
Complete with the author's own photographs, Paris and Her
Cathedrals vitally enhances our understanding of the history of
Paris and its environs.
