"Creating National Memory in Twelfth-Century Paris." William W. Clark, Professor of Art and of Medieval Studies at Queens College and The Graduate Center CUNY, is a specialist in Early Gothic art and architecture of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Clark has published four books, including one with Charles M. Radding, an intellectual historian, in which both argue for reading changes in art and architecture as concomitant with changes in other disciplines, including law, philosophy, and theology. Clark's most recent book, Medieval Cathedrals, presents an impressive array of original documents in translation, together with an introduction to the problems of cathedrals in general. Clark has published numerous articles on architecture and sculpture in the leading journals of the field and is currently working on a major project in the early photography of cathedrals in France from 1839 to ca. 1865.
