Book excerpt: Excerpt from Development Character of Gothic Architecture The idea having widely prevailed that Gothic was an art common to the nations of the North, each country has in turn laid claim to the superiority of its own style. This idea, as I endeavour to show, is incorrect, and has arisen from a lack of discriminating analysis. The peculiarities of pointed design, exhibited by the different countries of Europe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Development and Character of Gothic Architecture It has been necessary to devote a considerable portion of the book to detailed descriptions of structural forms and adjustments. These may prove tedious to the unprofessional reader but I have endeavoured to make them as brief as was consistent with thoroughness, and to express myself, as far as possible, in terms that may be generally understood. The illustrations to the book have been reproduced either on wood or by mechanical process from drawings, the most of which were made on the spot, or from photographs, by myself. For some of the illustrations of sculpture the drawings have been made from photographs either by my daughter, or by myself; and several of the most elaborate illustrations of entire buildings have been drawn from photographs for the engraver by Mr. H. W. Brewer of London, the well-known architectural draughtsman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Development Character of Gothic Architecture In the following attempt to set forth the development and character of Gothic architecture I use the term "Gothic," because it has been established by custom; and because, since it was owing to the infusion of Northern genius that the style was brought into being, it is not an entirely inappropriate term. But I use it in a restricted sense; confining it to that style of the Middle Ages which was the fullest development of new principles, and most distinctly a mediæval product. In thus restricting the term, I am forced to exclude the greater part of what has usually been called Gothic architecture, because of its failure to exhibit those qualities of design and construction which characterize the distinctive style. The general term pointed architecture will suffice to include those other classes of monuments which have been hitherto erroneously classed with Gothic. The position to which my study of the subject has led me differs considerably from that which has hitherto been maintained, especially by English writers. In the works of the true Gothic style we have a new structural system carried out with the strictest logic, and with a controlling sense of beauty. They are works of the highest art, in which sound mechanical principles serve as the secure foundation for the exercise of the poetic imagination. It will, doubtless, seem to readers already more or less familiar with the subject an extravagant position that Gothic architecture, as I define it, was never practised elsewhere than in France. Yet from this position I can see no escape. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to Gothic Architecture Architecture is progressive, and must keep pace with the development of the wants, faculties, and sentiments of mankind. The Decorative Arts arise from, and Should properly be attendant upon archi tecture. Antiquarianism and ecclesiology are among the phases of architectural study. The former is a mere branch of secular learning; the latter devotes its energies to the reverent serving and adorning of churches in the best and fittest manner possible. Decoration embraces all the arts of design. It is the 0 ice of architecture to illustrate the forces by which construction is maintained; and as a master of fine arts it presses into its service all others which can aid towards that, its one great central purpose. These forces are as a stream of life in the dull blocks through which they flow. 'architecture gives form and feature to them as things of vitality which we can then fix upon and delight in and thus a building clothed in the elements of its own life rises into being, a creature of living art, a thing of beauty. With the theory of architecture thus understood, the ancillary arts of sculpture, wall painting, stained glass, tapestry and so forth cluster around it with all their music of form and colours. It is thus that the arts of design step in. Their business is to interpret all that, to give it emphasis, to spread a sense of ease, happiness, and completeness everywhere. Then comes colour to add riches and plenty to what the other arts have begun, and to perfect those evidences of life and thought and movement which they draw out.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gothic Architecture in England: An Analysis of the Origin and Development of English Church Architecture From the Norman Conquest to the Dissolution of the Monasteries To the architectural student it is hoped that the twenty-eight sheets of moldings will be found specially valuable. In the largest collection hitherto published, that by Mr Palev. The moldings are very minute and crowded together, nor are they to the same scale: yet it makes all the difference whether, for instance, a capital and arch come from a piscina or a pier arcade: several species of moldings are omitted altogether, rag. Those of vaulting ribs, basement courses. Door ways and windows and of those which are illustrated the locality from which they come is in many cases not indicated.
