Romanesque Architecture is a comprehensive book written by Edith A. Browne that explores the architectural style of the Romanesque period. The book takes readers on a journey through the history of Romanesque architecture, from its origins in the 9th century to its development across Europe in the 11th and 12th centuries. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of Romanesque architecture. The first chapter provides an overview of the period and its historical context, while subsequent chapters delve into the various architectural features of Romanesque buildings, such as arches, vaults, and columns. Browne also examines the different types of Romanesque buildings, including churches, monasteries, and castles. She provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of notable examples of Romanesque architecture from across Europe, such as the Basilica of Saint Sernin in Toulouse, France, and the Speyer Cathedral in Germany. Throughout the book, Browne emphasizes the unique characteristics of Romanesque architecture, such as its use of thick walls and rounded arches. She also discusses the religious and cultural influences that shaped the style, including the rise of monasticism and the Crusades. Overall, Romanesque Architecture is an informative and engaging book that provides a thorough exploration of this important period in architectural history.
