{"product_id":"the-romanesque-revival-kathleen-curran-9780271022154","title":"The Romanesque Revival: Religion, Politics, and Transnational Exchange","description":"\u003cp\u003eDuring the nineteenth century, as the rapid growth of industry transformed life in both America and Europe, many new churches and public buildings were designed in an imposing style based upon medieval and early Christian models. Kathleen Curran's book traces the origins of this phenomenon, known either as the \u003ci\u003eRundbogenstil\u003c\/i\u003e or Romanesque Revival, in Rome, Karlsruhe, and the Munich of Ludwig I and charts its spread from Germany to London and the United States, where it shaped the design of such landmarks as Trinity Church in Boston and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on extensive archival research and wide reading in the theological and political literature of the period, Curran sets Romanesque Revival architecture in the context of debates on the roles church and state should and could play in modern society. Her book also breaks new ground by bringing to the fore the figures--diplomats, theologians, educational reformers, clergymen, and rulers--who supported Romanesque Revival architecture in large part because of the style's many associations with the staunch faith and communal solidarity of the early Christian era. \u003ci\u003eThe Romanesque Revival\u003c\/i\u003e is both comprehensive in scope and richly detailed. Even as it tracks the transnational movement of people and ideas, it situates key buildings in new patterns of urban development and explores their ideological implications and aesthetic refinements. The numerous illustrations include drawings and nineteenth-century photographs that have never before been reproduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen Curran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271022159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271022154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.28h x 9.26w x 1.27d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 899","brand":"Kathleen Curran","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241024368895,"sku":"9780271022154","price":142.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c754b761-f0c8-4b96-92f3-dd7104e0150d.jpg?v=1772652423","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-romanesque-revival-kathleen-curran-9780271022154","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
