This history of the Gothic revival traces the story of the movement from its beginnings in the experiments of 18th-century gentlemen to its ultimate embodiment in the Houses of Parliment. The book concentrates on the domestic forms of style from its use in country villas to its influence on city streets from Oxford to New England. In this wide-ranging reference work Megan Aldrich covers the influence of the style in every aspect of furnishing and decor and the work of such designers as Pugin, Violet-le-Duc and Burges in Britain, Europe and the USA.

This review is from: Gothic Revival (Paperback)
This book has beautiful pictures of all things relating to Gothic art. It has few of the German style Gothic and focuses more on the French and English styles which do tend to be more popular. It is a great reference for art history classes; it has good informationa and is not boring to read. The pictures are in color so everyone can appreciate the real beauty of these churches and artworks.
