The Age of the Cathedrals: Art and Society, 980-1420 by Duby

ISBN: 0226167704

Author: Duby, Georges

Condition: new

Recognizing that a work of art is the product of a particular time and place as much as it is the creation of an individual, Duby provides a sweeping survey of the changing mentalities of the Middle Ages as reflected in the art and architecture of the period."If Age of the Cathedrals has a fault, it is that Professor Duby knows too much, has too many new ideas and takes such a delight in setting them out. . . insights whiz to and fro like meteorites."-John Russell, New York Times Book Review
