  • The English Claim to Gothic: Contemporary Approaches to an Age-Old Debate (Under the Direction of DR STEFAAN VAN LIEFFERINGE)
    ABSTRACT MARY ELIZABETH BLUME The English Claim to Gothic: Contemporary Approaches to an Age-Old Debate (Under the Direction of DR STEFAAN VAN LIEFFERINGE) The Gothic Revival of the nineteenth century in Europe aroused a debate concerning the origin of a style already six centuries old. Besides the underlying quandary of how to define or identify “Gothic” structures, the Victorian revivalists fought vehemently over the national birthright of the style. Although Gothic has been traditionally acknowledged as having French origins, English revivalists insisted on the autonomy of English Gothic as a distinct and independent style of architecture in origin and development. Surprisingly, nearly two centuries later, the debate over Gothic’s nationality persists, though the nationalistic tug-of-war has given way to the more scholarly contest to uncover the style’s authentic origins. Traditionally, scholarship took structural or formal approaches, which struggled to classify structures into rigidly defined periods of formal development. As the Gothic style did not develop in such a cleanly linear fashion, this practice of retrospective labeling took a second place to cultural approaches that consider the Gothic style as a material manifestation of an overarching conscious Gothic cultural movement. Nevertheless, scholars still frequently look to the Isle-de-France when discussing Gothic’s formal and cultural beginnings. Gothic historians have entered a period of reflection upon the field’s historiography, questioning methodological paradigms. This

ABSTRACT This thesis is about late medieval carpenters, their techniques and their art, and about the structure that became the fusion of their technical virtuosity and artistic creativity: the hammer-beam roof. The structural nature and origin of the hammer-beam roof is discussed, and it is argued that, although invented in the late thirteenth century, during the fourteenth century the hammer-beam roof became a developmental dead-end. In the early fifteenth century the hammer-beam roof suddenly blossomed into hundreds of structures of great technical proficiency and aesthetic acumen. The thesis assesses the role of the hammer-beam roof of Westminster Hall as the catalyst to such renewed enthusiasm. This structure is analysed and discussed in detail.

Bony, French Gothic Architecture of the 12th and 13th Centuries, Introduction, pp 1-3 W. Sauerländer, "Mod Gothic" M. Davis, :"Sic et non" P. Crossley, "Back to the Forest" "Medieval architectural history has clung not only to positivist visual theories of style, "development" and the genius of the great "architect", but it has also retained modernist paradigms that isolate the object in plans and cross sections that have nothing to do with medieval subject positions, rooted as they are in production and not reception... Fearful of interdisciplinarity medieval architectural historians still run for the measuring rod." Michael Camille, Art History in the Past and Future of Medieval Studies, 1994. Let us first recognize the agenda, which we can associate with the recent prevalence of "endism". I define "endism" as the attempt to take control of the agenda by marking out mutually exclusive divisions and termini. The approach allows the scholar to assume the judgmental tone of a prophet of the apocalypse. Michael Davis ("Sic et Non") has called these "prophets" the "border police.” We are not obliged to follow their orders. How do ideas impose themselves? Consider the power of "the intellectual stock market." Spate of recent articles on "the state of the discipline." The current fashion for historiography may lead us to produce one- dimensional derogatory sketches of the great contributors to the field. But remember that the new is not so new as it purports to be and the old not so old.

  • Tallon Structure 25.01.11 Figures
    Tallon: Structure in Gothic, page 1 Structure in Gothic Andrew Tallon Vassar College The Cambridge History of Religious Architecture, ed. Richard Etlin and Stephen Murray. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, in press. This essay might well have been called Structure is Gothic—or rather Gothic is Structure. For from the very beginnings of its modern reception, Gothic has been an architecture appreciated primarily (and often solely) for its structural audacity. The astonishing conquest of space and clearly-apparent structural brinksmanship of the Gothic masters, whose lissome buildings bent and twisted as they adapted themselves to ever-evolving load distributions, dazzled the architects and aesthetes of the French Enlightenment, who were as impressed with this manifest intrepidity as they were anxious to reject that which seemed to obscure it (a profusion of ornament).1 The heritors of the nascent esteem accorded to the Gothic, in particular the great architect and theorist Eugene-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc and his apologists, dissected and categorized the inner workings of the Gothic frame and elevated them into a credo of structural rationalism based on knowledge acquired on hundreds of post-Revolutionary restoration chantiers. Widely diffused through means such as Viollet-le-Duc’s ten-volume Dictionnaire raisonné de l’architecture française du XIe au XVIe siècle or Auguste Choisy’s Histoire de l’architecture, the ideas were elucidated through novel means of representation.2 The most important among these, in terms of structure was the transverse section (Fig. 1). Because of their construction in a series of nearly-identical bays, Gothic buildings were assumed to function as a succession of lateral frames, through which thrust moved from vaults to walls to flying buttresses to buttress-uprights (culées) to the ground.
