Architecture in the Scandinavian Countries
(From Viking structures to Renaissance housing projects, M...)
From Viking structures to Renaissance housing projects, Medieval stave churches to modern crematoriums, Architecture in the Scandinavian Countries presents the most complete survey of Nordic architecture available today. Its more than 400 illustrations provide a visual introduction to nearly 10,000 years of building in the region, with examples of ecclesiastical, domestic, and civic buildings showing how Scandinavian architects used their own resources and traditions, as well as adapting the styles of medieval, Renaissance, baroque, and modern Europe to generate ideas that were to have major international consequences. More than three decades after Thomas Paulsson published his pioneering book Scandinavian Architecture, the first serious attempt to present a unified history of Nordic building, Marian Donnelly has written an even more comprehensive work. Donnelly's account begins with the earliest known remains of dwellings dating to around 7500 B.C. and closes with the commercial buildings of the 1970s. In between, she covers every important figure, movement, and style in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and the Faroes. Included are both canonical and unknown structures, obscure and celebrated architects. There is an extensive bibliography and a guide to biographical references for the architects. Marian C. Donnelly is Professor Emeritus of Art History at the University of Oregon and has served as president of the Society of Architectural Historians. She is the author of two previous books, The New England Meeting Houses of the Seventeenth Century and A Short History of Observatories.

The New England Meeting Houses of the Seventeenth Century
(In studies published on early American history and cultur...)
In studies published on early American history and culture, frequent mention is made of the New England meeting Houses of the seventeenth century. The importance of these buildings in New England is a reflection of the role played by the Congregational Church in public and cultural affairs, and their significance to the communities is indicated in part by the fact that hardly any extant town records fail to include references to their construction or maintenance...this study has been made in order to provide at least an introduction to a more meticulous scrutiny of the New England meeting houses in relation to their English and Continental contemporatires. Many illustrations.
