Wales
by Simon Jenkins
Published on 2011-12-01 by Penguin UK

'A monumental achievement . . . ravishing' Thomas Lloyd, Country Life 'Richly detailed, beautifully illustrated, consistently alive to the virtues of the buildings it visits . . . Every lane travelled has an exquisite, often crumbling manor house or chapel . . . Simon Jenkins loves Wales, and this guidebook invites us to love it too' Adam Nicolson, Evening Standard 'The book is one sustained hymn to ravishing beauty, of both great and small buildings, some gorgeously rich, others entrancingly humble . . .There are his compelling descriptions of the great castles built by Edward I, the neo-medieval fantasies of the Marquess of Bute, parish churchyards romantically set on upland pasture, a medieval pilgrimage church . . . outstanding' Marcus Binney, The Times 'What sets Jenkins apart from previous writers is a lively sense of the wider and deeper historical context, and a rare empathy in bringing to life those who used these buildings of Wales . . . The stones of Wales have found their Ruskin' Hywel Williams, The Times Literary Supplement 'Jenkins has driven through a tangle of lanes and walked through seas of sock-soaking grass to capture the plumpest and rarest trophies for his game-bag . . . It is a pleasure for us to join him in an armchair tour' Christopher Howse, Daily Telegraph 'It is impossible to open this book without wanting to dash for the valleys . . . the author has discovered an astonishing number of architectural jewels - nearly 260 of them . . . Individually, the descriptions are a joyful lucky dip; collectively, they're the best history of Wales you're likely to find on the shelves . . . Superb' Nicholas Crane, Countryfile

Download Pdf Philosophical Perspectives on Ruins, Monuments, and Memorials

Philosophical Perspectives on Ruins, Monuments, and Memorials by Jeanette Bicknell,Jennifer Judkins,Carolyn Korsmeyer Published on 2019-08-05 by Routledge This collection of newly published essays examines our relationship to physical objects that invoke, commemorate, and honor the past. The recent destruction of cultural heritage in war and controversies over Civil War monuments in the US have foregrounded the importance of artifacts that embody history. The book invites us to ask: How do memorials convey their meanings? What is our responsibility for the preservation or reconstruction of historically significant structures? How should we respond when the public display of a monument divides a community? This anthology includes coverage of the destruction of Palmyra and the Bamiyan Buddhas, the loss of cultural heritage through war and natural disasters, the explosive controversies surrounding Confederate-era monuments, and the decay of industry in the U.S. Rust Belt. The authors con...

Download Pdf The Architecture of the Christian Holy Land

The Architecture of the Christian Holy Land by Kathryn Blair Moore Published on 2017-02-28 by Cambridge University Press In the absence of the bodies of Christ and Mary, architecture took on a special representational role during the Christian Middle Ages, marking out sites associated with the bodily presence of the dominant figures of the religion. Throughout this period, buildings were reinterpreted in relation to the mediating role of textual and pictorial representations that shaped the pilgrimage experience across expansive geographies. In this study, Kathryn Blair Moore challenges fundamental ideas within architectural history regarding the origins and significance of European recreations of buildings in Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Nazareth. From these conceptual foundations, she traces and re-interprets the significance of the architecture of the Holy Land within changing religious and political contexts, from the First Crusade and the emergence of the Franciscan Custody of the H...
