Book excerpt: The touchstones of Gothic monumental art in France - the abbey church of Saint-Denis and the cathedrals of Chartres, Reims, and Bourges - form the core of this collection. The essays reflect the impact of Anne Prache’s career, as a scholar of wide-ranging interests and as a builder of bridges between French and American academic communities. The authors include scholars in France and the United States, both academics and museum professionals, while the book’s thematic matrix, divided into architecture, stained glass, and sculpture, reflects the multiple media explored by Prache during her career.
