This book traces the origins and explores the meaning of the vast medieval abbeys and cathedrals that were built across Europe from the 11th century onwards. The author argues that their construction was inspired by a great awakening of the Church after centuries of decline and misery. Examining the fascinating stories of the men who built and used these extraordinary buildings, the book reveals how they were not only places of worship but also centres of learning, agriculture and community. Their innovative architecture and beautiful decoration expressed the spiritual fervour and optimism of the age, symbolising the 'white robe of churches' that the monk Raoul Glaber described in the 11th century. This well-researched book provides a fresh perspective on a key period in the history of Western Christianity, examining the profound influence of these great buildings on medieval society and their enduring legacy as architectural wonders This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
