| Abstract | The field of medieval architecture has had its share of duelling scholars and provocative theories. More than historiographic footnotes, extended debates have both shaped our discipline and spurred innovative scholarship. Some arguments were simply a matter of varying approaches or interpretation of evidence. Others acan be linked to ideological or national differences. Most these can be linked with key names in the field and many of the best-argued positions have affected our subsequent understanding of monuments for generations. |
