Review of Irish Gothic architecture: construction, decay and reinvention, Roger Stalley (ed) (original) (raw)

This book presents a collection of essays exploring the evolution of Gothic architecture in Ireland, emphasizing its dynamic nature shaped by various political, economic, and religious contexts. The essays cover a broad chronological span, examining key structures and their transformations over time, rather than providing a comprehensive survey. Contributors discuss specific case studies, such as the construction and perception of Cashel Cathedral, the fate of monastic and parish churches, and the ongoing relevance of medieval buildings in contemporary Ireland.
