FREEDOM FROM FEAR: The Essence of Romanesque Architecture A favourite of Arabella readers, Shannon Kyles returns with a fascinating tutorial on the Romanesque and Romanesque Revival periods. From its ancient beginnings, this heavy, domineering style was designed to evoke a sense of security in homes, houses of worship and public buildings and capitalize on the human instinct for fortification. Outstanding photography complements this well-informed and entertaining architectural history of home, church and state, dating back to the Dark Ages.
