<The style of architecture we refer to as "Gothic" is French in origin and though I have forgotten the
delightful details, it has a definite starting point and first architect. Is not St. Denis one of the first buildings in this style? >

If you would like some really fun and interesting reading in this area, grab a copy of Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. No only a great love story with some excitement, but also contains some very interesting commentary on the building of gothic cathedrals.
