	2 Johnson, Paul. CATHEDRALS OF ENGLAND, SCOTLAND AND WALES. Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London, 1990.  216 pp, oblong small 8vo (7 3/4" H x 10 1/8" D), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0297830139 Profusely illustrated in colour and b&w with photographs, reproductions, floor plans. "Paul Johnson begins his survey with the evolution of the cathedral from its origins in Rome and Byzantium. He describes the coming of Romanesque to England and the astonishing building programme of the Normans. He looks at the emergence of Gothic at Canterbury, Lincoln and Wells, the French influence on the build ing of Westminster Abbey, and the triumphs of the Decorated style in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. From these followed the most English of all architectural styles, the Perpendicular, which is traced from its spectacular beginnings a t G l oucester, through its maturity at York, Canterbury and Winchester to its exotic culmination at Bath and Oxford. This stylistic analysis includes the medieval cathedrals of Scotland and Wales and is brought up to date by a description of all th e p os t-Reformation cathedrals, Catholic, Anglican and Episcopalian, including such spectacular modern examples as Coventry and the twin cathedrals of Liverpool. Within this broadly chronological framework, the author examines the role played in ca the dra l design by function and ideology and describes how these remarkable buildings were constructed, and the skill and determination of the architects and craftsmen who worked on them. A separate section deals with the wealth of treasures ho use d in the se cathedrals, from stained glass, carvings and sculpture to manuscripts, paintings and plate. Superbly illustrated throughout with 150 photographs in black and white and colour, ground-plans and drawings, Paul Johnson's text is a comp rehe nsive stud y of the subject. A gazetteer provides useful information for the visitor on the 90 cathedrals in this fascinating and informative book." Book is slightly cocked. Dust jacket has minor edge wrinkling.
