Early Medieval Architecture (Oxford History of Art) 1st Edition by Roger Stalley

Good Condition. Please see attached Photos. About:The early middle ages were an exciting period in the history of European architecture, culminating in the development of the Romanesque style. Major architectural innovations were made during this time including the medieval castle, the church spire, and the monastic cloister. By avoiding the traditional emphasis on chronological development, Roger Stalley provides a radically new approach to the subject, exploring issues and themes rather than sequences and dates. In addition to analysing the language of the Romanesque, the book examines the engineering achievements of the builders, focusing on how the great monuments of the age were designed and constructed. Ranging from Gotland to Apulia, Stalley explores the richness and variety of European architecture Product information Publisher ‎Oxford University Press; First Edition (December 2, 1999) Paperback ‎272 pages ISBN-10 ‎0192842234 ISBN-13 ‎978-0192842237 Item Weight ‎2.31 pounds
