Socialist Churches: Radical Secularization and the Preservation of the Past in Petrograd and Leningrad, 1918-1988
ISBN: 9780875807430 / Angielski / Twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Russia, legislation on the separation of church and state in early 1918 marginalized religious faith and raised pressing questions about what was to be done with church buildings. While associated with suspect beliefs, they were also regarded as structures with potential practical uses, and some were considered works of art. This engaging study draws on religious anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, and history to explore the fate of these "socialist churches," showing how attitudes and practices related to them were shaped both by laws on the preservation of monuments and...

ISBN: 9780195179729 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For nearly eighteen centuries, two fundamental spatial plans dominated Christian architecture: the basilica and the central plan. In the 1880s, however, profound socio-economic and technological changes in the United States contributed to the rejection of these traditions and the development of a radically new worship building, the auditorium church. When Church Became Theatre focuses on this radical shift in evangelical Protestant architecture and links it to changes in worship style and religious mission. The auditorium style, featuring a prominent stage from which rows of pews...

The Restoration of Blythburgh Church, 1881-1906: The Dispute Between the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and the Blythburgh Church Res
ISBN: 9781783271672 / Angielski / Twarda / 383 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1881, after decades of mouldering into ruin, the grand fifteenth-century church of Blythburgh, Suffolk, -The Cathedral of the Marshes-, was closed as unsafe. The church was saved - but its rescue involved a bitter twenty-five year long dispute between Blythburgh vicars and committees, and William Morris and his Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, who feared that the medieval fabric would be over-restored and the character of the building lost forever. This volume presents an edition, with notes and introduction, of original documents from both sides - providing unique insights...
