"In this book, Robert Bork offers a sweeping reassessment of late Gothic architecture and its fate in the Renaissance. In a chronologically organized narrative covering the whole of western and central Europe, he demonstrates that the Gothic design tradition remained inherently vital throughout the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, creating spectacular monuments in a wide variety of national and regional styles. Bork argues that the displacement of this Gothic tradition from its long-standing position of artistic leadership in the years around 1500 reflected the impact of three main external forces: the rise of a rival architectural culture that championed the use of classical forms with a new theoretical sophistication; the appropriation of that architectural language by patrons who wished to associate themselves with papal and imperial Rome; and the chaos of the Reformation, which disrupted the circumstances of church construction on which the Gothic tradition had formerly depended. Bork further argues that art historians have much to gain from considering the character and fate of late Gothic architecture, not only because the monuments in question are intrinsically fascinating, but also because examination of the way their story has been told--and left untold, in many accounts of the "Northern Renaissance"--can reveal a great deal about schemes of categorization and prioritization that continue to shape the discipline even in the twenty-first century."--Page 4 of cover.

La 4e de couverture indique : "Au moment où les historiens de l'art réhabilitent l'architecture de la fin du Moyen Âge, nous avons souhaité rééditer l'ouvrage pionnier consacré par Roland Sanfaçon en 1971 à L'Architecture flamboyante en France. Notre motivation se fonde sur l'appel encore incontournable à son contenu, sur l'absence d'une synthèse française équivalente et, enfin, sur la nécessité de faire de cet ouvrage un objet de réflexion historiographique et épistémologique. Plusieurs auteurs se sont ainsi réunis autour de cette réédition pour évaluer leur dette envers la réflexion prodromique engagée par l'historien québécois sur l'architecture des XVe et XVIe siècles. Tout en interrogeant la problématique élaborée par l'auteur en son temps, forts d'un nouvel "outillage mental", ils écrivent les premières lignes d'une réflexion critique sur une architecture encore méconnue".
