This book is an extremely extensive coverage of Gothic Architecture throughout Europe. The quality and coverage of the work is unsurpassed. However, it only covers the architectural elements of Gothic Cathedrals and does not cover aspects such as stained glass windows, wood carvings and sculptural art within Gothic Cathedrals. If you are looking for a general work on various aspects of Gothic Art, this is not it.

Scholarly Classic in the Field of Gothic Architecture

By Ray "A Reader" - April 15, 2011

This scholarly survey of gothic architecture is rightly considered a classic in the field. Consisting of the original text by Frankl, an instructor at Princeton who greatly advanced the subject amongst the English speaking world, and a studious and comprehensive commentary by Paul Crossley, a lecturer and gothic expert at the University of London, the book is a comprehensive and highly detailed examination of gothic architecture all across Europe from the 11th to the 16th centuries. The commentary and annotated bibliography alone are worth the purchase price, but the original text of Frankl is what will continue to hold interest amongst gothic students due to its historic scholarly value. The book is part of the larger Pelican History of Art series, and is published by Yale University.
