"In a time when the more inclusive label “early modern” has largely come to substitute for the more stylistically determined and Eurocentric “Renaissance,” Lateness and Modernity in Medieval Architecture scrutinizes the new, fine line between late medieval and early modern architecture. [...] Scholars of medieval and early modern architecture will enjoy reading this erudite and accessibly written work from cover to cover, as it continues a robust scholarly conversation that has been ongoing in multiple subfields of architectural history for more than a decade [...] The production values of books in this series have been excellent since the series moved to Brill, and Lateness and Modernity in Medieval Architecture is no exception, being as much a pleasure to hold as it is to read." Lindsay S. Cook, in: Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians 83.2, pp. 234-236"While the volume’s ostensible focus is lateness and modernity, it is also in large part a study of architectural memory. The topic of architectural memory is an important thread demonstrating how the progress of modernity is viewed through the lens of the past [...] of clear interest to architectural historians of this period, the volume’s attention to collective memories (both real and fictive) not only in architecture itself but also in ornamentation, historiography, and terminology (namely, what and where is ‘Gothic’?) will also make it appealing to art historians." Elisa Foster, in: Architectural Histories 12.1“Taken as a whole, Lateness and Modernity in Medieval Architecture, and the body of scholarship it represents, begins to fill a significant lacuna created by longstanding historiographic biases. […] Overall, the editors have succeeded in making a clear and important intervention through a sustained critique of the language and assumptions that have long marginalized late Gothic architecture, marking a significant step toward rethinking Gothic beyond traditional stylistic, temporal, and geographic boundaries.” Meredith Cohen, University of California, in caa.reviews
