| Summary | "The Story of Rouen" by Theodore Andrea Cook is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the rich and intricate history of the city of Rouen, detailing its architectural development and the socio-political changes it underwent over centuries. The narrative emphasizes how the character of the town has been shaped by its geography and the experiences of its citizens rather than solely by notable historical figures. The opening of the text sets the stage for a deep exploration of Rouen, beginning with an artistic depiction of the city, highlighting its canals, churches, and the significance of the Seine River. Cook discusses the physical layout of Rouen, describing the natural defenses that contributed to its historical importance. He contrasts the ancient architecture with modern developments, lamenting the loss of distinct characteristics over time. This section serves as an introduction to the broader narrative structure, which will connect various historical chapters of the city to the buildings and relics that define its legacy, aiming to engage both travelers and armchair historians alike.
