Herbert Schutz, Professor Emeritus at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, was motivated to write these books because of a general gap in the English literature of Romanesque Art and Craftsmanship concerning Central Europe. The area of the Medieval Empire is a relative orphan. Although there are numerous books dealing with this period of the Medieval Empire, artistic considerations are to be found mainly in German publications.
