Review of Alice Isabella Sullivan and Kyle G. Sweeney, eds., Lateness and Modernity in Medieval Architecture, Leiden: Brill, 504 pages. ISBN 978-9004538436. This edited volume explores how medieval architecture from the thirteenth through seventeenth centuries has been described as both “late” in terms of the Gothic style and “modern” in its opposition to classical forms of the nascent Renaissance. Drawing from a wide array of architectural types as well as diverse examples from places ranging from Cyprus to the Dominican Republic, this volume provides a useful, insightful analysis of Gothic architecture that challenges traditional narratives and encourages a global perspective.
