Summary: "How France Built Her Cathedrals: A Study in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries" by Elizabeth Boyle O'Reilly is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the development of Gothic architecture, focusing on its origins and the notable cathedrals built during the 12th and 13th centuries in France. O'Reilly delves into how architecture serves as a historical marker and reflects the cultural and societal advancements of the time, emphasizing the significance of the French cathedrals as foundational to Western architectural heritage. At the start of the text, the author introduces the profound impact of architecture on collective memory, quoting John Ruskin to underscore the idea that architecture is a living testament to history. O'Reilly illustrates how the Gothic cathedrals of France were not merely religious structures, but symbols of national pride and craftsmanship that spoke to the spirit of the era. She outlines the transition from Romanesque to Gothic architecture, noting the communal efforts of various social classes in the construction of these monumental edifices and framing the cathedrals as a reflection of the societal aspirations and artistic achievements of the time.
