Gothic Revival
This book traces the story of the Gothic Revival from its beginnings in the ‘Gothick’ experiments of the eighteenth century to its ultimate embodiment in the Houses of Parliament. The book primarily concentrates on the domestic forms of the style, however, from its use in country houses to its influence on the city streets of Europe and America. An essential work of reference as well as a visual delight, Gothic Revival covers the influence of the style in every aspect of furnishing and decor through the work of such great designers as Pugin, Wyatt, Viollet-le-Duc and Burges. The style’s worldwide influence is amply demonstrated in the many illustrations of architecture, textiles, wallpapers and furnishings.
