Splendid Exploration of the Life of a Monastery,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rievaulx Abbey: Community, Architecture, Memory (The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art) (Hardcover)
In Rievaulx Abbey, the authors have given us a splendid portrayal of life in the Cistercian monastery. The personages of Aelred and Walter Daniel truly come alive in this work. In addition to the historical perspective of the book, we are given insight into the methods of architectural historians and come away with a better understanding of how great historical buildings are interpreted. The prose of Fergusson and Harrison is awe-inspiring. This book is a must-have for the student of monastic architecture.
