Description:

3. Auflage. - «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.»
