* SUGER AND SAINT-DENIS

on Network Three

by GEOFFREY WEBB
It requires a real effort to imagine the basilica of Saint-Denis making the sort of impact on those who first saw it that Ronchamp makes on us today. Geoffrey Webb talks about the philosophy, theology, and iconography which helped shape this masterpiece of Abbot Suger 's patronage; and in particular, about the effects of this Gothic forerunner of 1144 on such embodiments of tradition as St. Bernard and the stable masses of the Romanesque style.
' The Abbot Dies,' by Malcolm Quantrill , with music by Elisabeth Lutyens: Tuesday at 9.50
