This course will consider the Gothic cathedrals of Western Europe as both architectural monuments and as sites of social and religious community. In addition to examining how and why these great soaring structures were constructed, this course will address the artistic culture of cathedral building, from the building plan, to masons' tools, to life in the clergy. It will be pan-European in focus, beginning in France, but will also utilise local resources when available, using York Minster as a prominent example of English Gothic.
