Overview
An innovative book that tells the story of England's cathedrals in their historical context. A must for all lovers of cathedrals.
Synopsis
Writing for serious general readers, especially those who may visit the sites, Lehmberg (emeritus history, U. of Minnesota) traces the history of cathedrals—big churches where bishops have their thrones—in England from the arrival of St. Augustine in 597 through the 20th century. He does provide eight fine color photographs, but they enhance rather than anchor the text. Distributed in the US by Palgrave Macmillan. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
