Description and Table of Contents

Description

The period 1720-1870 saw the rise of Gothic Revival archictecture from its beginnings in garden buildings to larger country houses and churches and finally in the new Houses or Parliament. These volumes provide 100 primary sources arranged thematically and supported by a significant critical apparatus which explore the Gothic Revival in historical thought and debate, in archictectural forms and in literature.
