Evoking feelings of awe and humility, they make us want to understand what inspired the people who had the audacity to build them. This engrossing book surveys an era that has fired the historical imagination for centuries. In it Robert A. Scott explores why medieval people built Gothic cathedrals, how they built them, what conception of the divine lay behind their creation, and how religious and secular leaders used cathedrals for social and political purposes. As a traveler's companion or a rich source of knowledge for the armchair enthusiast, The Gothic Enterprise helps us understand how ordinary people managed such tremendous feats of physical and creative energy at a time when technology was rudimentary, famine and disease were rampant, the climate was often harsh, and communal life was unstable and incessantly violent.While most books about Gothic cathedrals focus on a particular building or on the cathedrals of a specific region, The Gothic Enterprise considers the idea of the cathedral as a humanly created space. Scott discusses why an impoverished people would commit so many social and personal resources to building something so physically stupendous and what this says about their ideas of the sacred, especially the vital role they ascribed to the divine as a protector against the dangers of everyday life.Scott's narrative offers a wealth of fascinating details concerning daily life during medieval times. The author describes the difficulties master-builders faced in scheduling construction that wouldn't be completed during their own lifetimes, how they managed without adequate numeric systems or paper on which to make detailed drawings, and how climate, natural disasters, wars, variations in the hours of daylight throughout the year, and the celebration of holy days affected the pace and timing of work. Scott also explains such things as the role of relics, the quarrying and transporting of stone, and the incessant conflict cathedral-building projects caused within their communities. Finally, by drawing comparisons between Gothic cathedrals and other monumental building projects, such as Stonehenge, Scott expands our understanding of the human impulses that shape our landscape. 606 $aCathedrals 606 $aMiddle Ages 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCathedrals. 615 0$aMiddle Ages. 676 $a723/.5 700 $aScott$b Robert A.$f1935-$0128614 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456982103321 996 $aThe Gothic enterprise$92469638 997 $aUNINA 999 $p$17.47$u07/24/2015$5Art LEADER 02897nam 2200661 450 001 9910813270103321 005 20230522050633.0 010 $a1-4426-8715-0 024 7 $a10.3138/9781442687158 035 $a(CKB)2560000000054163 035 $a(OCoLC)759157249 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10442470 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000486248 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11347184 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000486248 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10430752 035 $a(PQKB)10240435 035 $a(CEL)433743 035 $a(CaBNvSL)slc00226227 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3272684 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4672518 035 $a(DE-B1597)464120 035 $a(OCoLC)1013939032 035 $a(OCoLC)944176981 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781442687158 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4672518 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11258184 035 $a(OCoLC)958516382 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)musev2_104340 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000054163 100 $a20160923h20102010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aOedipus against Freud $emyth and the end(s) of humanism in twentieth-century British literature /$fBradley W.
