Though the design of great cathedral windows certainly had an impact on window tracery in small churches, says retired architect Hart, he believes that other influences were also at work and perhaps more powerfully. Indeed he traces an evolution of church window tracery down the centuries that is completely distinct from that of cathedral windows. He defines the mainstream styles, differentiates the many sub-styles and variations developed from them, places these variations with the context of the progression of window tracery design, and demonstrates connections between styles. His own photographs, most black and white, illustrate. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
