Description

Romanesque is the style name given to the art and architecture of Europe in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. First used in the early nineteenth century to express the perceived indebtedness of the visual-artistic and architectural cultures of this period to their Classical antecedents; the term has survived two centuries of increasingly sophisticated readings of the relevant medieval buildings and objet dart. The study of Romanesque as a stylistic phenomenon is now almost exclusively the preserve of art historians; particularly in the English-speaking world. Here the Romanesque is subjected to a long overdue; theoretically-informed; archaeological inquiry. The ideological foundations and epistemological boundaries of Romanesque scholarship are critiqued; and the constructs of Romanesque and Europe are deconstructed; and alternative strategies for interpreting Romanesques constituent material are mapped out. This book should; at the very least; illuminate the need for debate.
