Sinopse

In 'The Cathedrals and Churches of the Rhine,' M. F. Mansfield offers an evocative exploration of the architectural marvels dotting the banks of the legendary Rhine River. With a prose style that marries scholarly precision with lyrical grace, Mansfield delves into the rich tapestry of Gothic and Romanesque structures that have shaped Europe's cultural and spiritual heritage. The narrative is enhanced by vivid descriptions and historical context, illuminating the churches' roles not only as religious sites but also as reflections of regional identity and artistic achievement throughout the ages. M. F. Mansfield, an esteemed art historian with a focus on ecclesiastical architecture, draws from extensive research and personal travels along the Rhine to compose this insightful volume. His background in both theology and art history lends authority to his examination of these sacred spaces, allowing him to interpret their aesthetic and religious significance while addressing the socio-political milieu that influenced their construction. This book is an essential read for scholars, students, and lovers of architecture and history alike. Mansfield's eloquent narrative and meticulous research will engage those seeking to understand the interplay between art, faith, and community along one of the most historically rich rivers in Europe.

Bern Minster, the most important late Gothic church building in Switzerland, together with the new town hall, represents the remarkable awakening of the free city of Bern in the 15th century. The prerequisite for this were the favourable political and economic circumstances, promoted by an upwardly mobile class of merchants who rose to the ranks of the city’s patrician class. At the laying of the foundation stone in 1421, the mighty aspirations associated with the building project were already manifest in terms of size and expense. The city commissioned Matthäus Ensinger, son of the famous Strasbourg and Ulm cathedral master builder. Despite the lengthy construction period, Ensinger’s plans resulted in a church building of great harmony, with superb features including the medieval stained-glass windows, the opulently decorated vaults spanning the period from late Gothic to Renaissance and the Portal of the Last Judgement with its rich array of figures.

In this often witty, sometimes furious, and sometimes downright surreal collection, James Domestic does - as per usual - whatever the hell he likes, with poetry, prose, and lyrics, all thrown into the mix with abandon. Punk, politics, habit, the nature of work, the environment, nostalgia, aging, and some quintessentially British whimsy, all crammed in together like a last minute bag hurriedly packed for tour. Somehow it works. A man in too many bands to count (The Domestics, PI$$ER, Da Groins, Tokyo Lungs... that's not even half of 'em), a solo artist, a vocalist, a songwriter, a DJ, a poet, a painter, someone who failed miserably at school, spent his early post-school life between the chemical factory and the dole, and somehow now has a PhD (yep, it's genuinely Dr Domestic!). A square peg in life's round hole. A face that never really fitted. He couldn't care less. Come along for the ride. Domesticated is an eighty page collection of James Domestics street-poetry and punk-prose.He's always on the road and at the gigs. His poetry has earned him comparisons to John Cooper Clarke, Ivor Cutler, Spike Milligan and Banjamin Zephaniah, amongst others.
