About This Book
A descriptive, richly illustrated account traces the architectural and civic development of Rouen from its earliest traces to the post-medieval era. It examines churches, cathedrals, civic buildings, and private houses as expressions of the town's character, situating relics in their geographic and historical context, and discussing monuments, medieval sculpture, and urban fabric including gates, ramparts, and the effects of suburban growth. The author blends antiquarian observation, travel reflection, and architectural analysis to show how material remains record communal life, artistic practice, and changing tastes across centuries.
