3/4 Architects of the Divine: The First Gothic Age

• 1/4 Architects of the ...
First broadcast: Oct 2014.
Medieval historian Dr Janina Ramirez looks back to a time when British craftsmen and their patrons created a new form of architecture. The art and architecture of France would dominate England for much of the medieval age. Yet British stone masons and builders would make Gothic architecture their own, inventing a national style for the first time - Perpendicular Gothic - and giving Britain a patriotic backdrop to suit its new ambitions of chivalry and power. From a grand debut at Gloucester Cathedral to commemorate a murdered king to its final glorious flowering at King's College Chapel in Cambridge, the Perpendicular age was Britain's finest.

Too bad you can't watch them entirely. They're pretty interesting and well presented too. Love how passionate Dr. Janina Ramirez talks about it. With every word she speaks I imagine it vividly. She makes history come alive

"The peasantry was convinced to be less peasntry and the rich helped them to breed themselves and lift them up to a place of not-peasantry, all the whilst getting richer themselves and breeding a better form of "normal" human, one that is was SUPER peasantry and doesn't complain about anything whilst still being able to do their job." Thank fuck, because those peasants that complain are gross. We call them "mentally ill" these days.
