Reader's note

A 1964 edition of The Gothic Revival by Kenneth Clark. Few movements in the history of art and taste have been so derided as the Gothic Revival. In this lively study - a new edition of his first book 0 Sir Kenneth Clark examines the Gothic Revival with highly critical sympathy. He traces the neo-Gothic impulse from its origins in eighteenth century literature through the pseudo-medieval houses and follies to the Oxfordd Movement, Gilbert Scott, and Ruskin, all of whom receive detailed attention. He reminds us of the movement's successes as well as its notorious failures. If Walpole's Strawberry Hill is mere quaintness, and many of Scott's church restorations were indefensible, the Gothic Revival did produce Pugin, Butterfield, and Street, and would be remembered by every visitor to London and Houses of Parliament alone.
