Event Details

Join us to participate in one of Yale University's most popular open courses! This course is an introduction to some of the most astonishing architectural monuments the world has ever known—Gothic cathedrals. We shall study the art, literature, intellectual life, economics, and new social arrangements that arose in the shadow of the cathedrals and that were such an important part of the revival of cities in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The goal of the course is a better appreciation of the High Middle Ages, a world that is still recognizably our own. Laptops will be provided. Sign up to be a part of this exciting group learning experience below!
