Gothic by George Henderson is a concise yet authoritative survey of Gothic art and architecture in Europe from the 12th to the 16th centuries. Part of the Pelican Art series, the book examines the stylistic evolution of Gothic forms, including cathedrals, sculpture, stained glass, and illuminated manuscripts.
