Book Synopsis
Presents a new way of understanding the great Gothic churches of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries: as rhetorical constructs. The author traces common analogies between rhetoric and architectural space that date back to late antiquity, and then shows how those links were translated into wood, stone, and space under specific local conditions.
