Among the most influential figures of the Gothic Revival in
nineteenth-century Britain, Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin
(1812-52) distinguished himself as an architect, author and
interior designer. His illustrated lectures on ecclesiastical
design were first published in 1841 and are reissued here with An
Apology for the Revival of Christian Architecture in England
(1843). Reflecting the influence of the author's conversion to
Catholicism, the works discuss a range of architectural features,
their functions and where they should be implemented. Pugin also
outlines, with some amusement, the dangers of executing designs
that do not follow his principles. The highly detailed
illustrations are drawn with an architect's precision, showing both
realised and unrealised designs. Contrasts (revised second edition,
1841), Pugin's most famous work, is also reissued in this series.
Together, these publications remain essential reading for those
seeking to understand the growth of the Gothic Revival.
