Inhaltsangabe

T. Roger Smith's <i>Architecture Gothic and Renaissance</i> will inform the reader on the history, features, and famous examples of great architectural works dating from the 12th century until the 18th century.

The book begins where many books would end - with an illustrated glossary. Smith's decision to open <i>Architecture Gothic and Renaissance</i> in this way is enormously beneficial to the reader, particularly one who is not an expert in architectural terms. Following this glossary and an introduction, the book proceeds neatly through the ages, with each chapter devoted to architecture in a different part of the world. There is an examination of gothic architecture in England and continental Europe, which has been divided into geographic regions. There is also an examination of Renaissance architecture, which focuses mainly on France and Italy but also explores other parts of the world. The reader will conclude this book having gained a fairly detailed picture of European architecture in the periods highlighted.

Author T. Roger Smith is nothing if not thorough. From the opening glossary the reader is made aware that this book is intended for serious study. Rarely does the book fail to provide fine details on the architectural concepts discussed.

Ultimately, <i>Architecture Gothic and Renaissance</i> succeeds in furthering the knowledge of the reader in a relatively entertaining fashion. Those keenly interested in architecture, specifically Gothic and Renaissance works, will doubtless find this to be an enjoyable read.
