"Departing from the traditional emphasis on chronological development, the book is structured thematically to enable key issues to be thoroughly examined. Chapters cover patronage, the cult of saints, the language of the Romanesque, the engineering achievements of the builders, and the symbolic meanings of architecture. The extreme richness and variety of European architecture is explored in terms of the social and religious aspirations of the time."--Jacket.
