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 purposesoxfam bookshop brighton the great gothic cathedrals of europe are among the most astonishing achievements of western cultureas a traveller'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 violentscott 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 lifewhile 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 spacethis engrossing book surveys an era that has fired the historical imagination for centuriesthe 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 workevoking feelings of awe and humility, they make us want to understand what inspired the people who had the audacity to build themscott's narrative offers a wealth of fascinating details concerning daily life during medieval timesscott 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 communitiesfinally, 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 landscapesee oxfam website for delivery information read more
