About this edition
Chartres Cathedral, south of Paris, is revered as one of the most beautiful and profound works of art in the Western canon. But what did it mean to those who constructed it in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries"šÃ„îand why was it built at such immense height and with such glorious play of light, in the soaring manner we now call Gothic? In this eminently fascinating work, author Philip Ball makes sense of the visual and emotional power of Chartres and brilliantly explores how its construction"šÃ„îand the creation of other Gothic cathedrals"šÃ„îrepresented a profound and dramatic shift in the way medieval thinkers perceived their relationship with their world. Beautifully illustrated and written, filled with astonishing insight, embeds the magnificent cathedral in the culture of the twelfth century"šÃ„îits schools of philosophy and science, its trades and technologies, its politics and religious debates"šÃ„îenabling us to view this ancient architectural marvel with fresh eyes.
