Description: Examines Romanesque and Gothic churches as evidence of the values of the societies that created them.  Shows the affect of monasticism and pilgrimage on Romanesque church architecture.  Uses Gislebertus's sculpture at St. Lazare in Autun to show the medieval focus on heaven and the afterlife.  The Gothic architecture, sculpture, and stained glass at St. Denis and Chartres are discussed as evidence of a new theology and profound social changes during the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries.  Features experts Paul Crossley, William Clark, and Anne Prache.
