Summary

A vision of the arts and literature of European culture in the High Middle Ages, this book covers the world of Chaucer, Boccaccio, Petarch and the Arthurian romances. It shows the movement from a church-dominated culture to one which was much more self-confident and enquiring.

Gothic Europe 1200-1450 Summary

Gothic Europe 1200-1450 by Derek Pearsall ( passed away as advised by Harrowells solicitors sf case 02089806 Royalties transferred to Daniel Pearsall 104422, Judith Pearsall 104421 and Mary-Ann Pearsall 104796 sf case 02089806)

This uniquely ambitious history offers an account of all aspects of cultural activity and production throughout the world of Latin Christendom 1200-1450. Beginning with a detailed description of the political and economic circumstances that allowed the 'Gothic Moment' to flourish, the body of the book is both a celebration of the Gothic cultural achievement - in cathedral-building, in manuscript illumination, in chivalric love-romance, in stained glass and in many other arts - and an investigation of its social origins and systems of production.
