Charles Locke Eastlake (1833-1906), an interior, furniture and
industrial designer, showed talent as an architect and was awarded
a Silver Medal in 1854 by the Royal Academy. He is known for
influencing the style of later nineteenth-century 'Modern' Gothic
furniture with his Hints on Household Taste (1868), but his passion
for medieval architecture developed much earlier while he was in
Europe during the 1850s. In 1866 he became Secretary to the Royal
Institute of British Architects, and it was in 1872 that this work
was published. The book is notable for being released at the height
of the Gothic Revival movement in the later nineteenth century. It
includes detailed comments on the architects, societies, literature
and buildings that formed the cornerstones of the Gothic Revival,
primarily in Britain, from around 1650 to 1870. A valuable mine of
information, it remains a key source on the topic.
