Heaven on Earth
The Lives and Legacies of the World's Greatest Cathedrals
A glorious history of sixteen of the world's greatest cathedrals, interwoven with the extraordinary stories of the people who built them. <BR>'An impeccable guide to the golden age of ecclesiastical architecture' The Times <BR>'Vivid, colourful and absorbing' Dan Jones <BR>'An epic ode to some of our most beautiful and beloved buildings' Helen Carr<BR><BR>A glorious history of sixteen of the world's greatest cathedrals, interwoven with the extraordinary stories of the people who built them.<BR>The emergence of the Gothic style in twelfth-century France, characterized by pointed arches, rib vaults, flying buttresses and large windows, forms the central core of Emma Wells's authoritative but accessible study of the golden age of the cathedral. More than architectural biographies, these are human stories of triumph and tragedy that take the reader from the chaotic atmosphere of the mason's yard to the cloisters of power. Together, they reveal how 1000 years of cathedral-building shaped modern Europe, and influenced art, culture and society around the world.
