Between the Seine and the Rhine lay a land of old names, Flanders, Brabant, Picardy, Champagne and Burgundy, and of monuments full of grace and grandeur. Writing as the First World War laid much of it waste, the Gothic Revival architect Ralph Adams Cram traces how medieval civilisation was forged there, and celebrates Amiens and Reims and the town halls and guildhalls of the burghers.
A passionate elegy for the art of medieval Europe, written as that art was under fire. Download the free EPUB.
