Civilisation: A Personal View by Kenneth Clark, No. 2: The Great Thaw

Examines the 11th and 12th centuries in Europe, which were remarkable for their energy, their expanding intellect, their architecture, and for the emergence of nations as political entities. Highlights the founding of universities; the spread of monasticism; pilgrimages to the Holy Land, Rome, and Santiago de Compostela; and the building of great churches. Explores Peter Abelard's new view of man and Thomas Aquinas' vision of the synthesis of classic and Christian heritages. Studies the characteristics of architecture in the period, whose epitome is Chartres.
