About this book
The streets and buildings of Rouen provide Theodore Andrea Cook with a way to tell the history of a French city. Churches, homes and civic monuments anchor a chronological account that connects architecture with the habits and concerns of the people who lived there. Cook writes for travellers seeking explanations of what they see and for readers interested in the city's past from home. The volume includes drawings by Helen M. James and Jane E. Cook.
Local documents bring individual lives into this architectural history. Records of pardons granted through the privilege of St. Romain's shrine reveal disputes over wages, imprisonment and the exercise of authority. The account of Jeanne d'Arc's arrival in Rouen links her confinement to the city's castle and surviving tower.
