Synopsis

""An Attempt To Discriminate The Styles Of Architecture In England, From The Conquest To The Reformation: With A Sketch Of The Grecian And Roman Orders"" is a book written by Thomas Rickman in 1881. The book is an attempt to categorize and distinguish the different styles of architecture that have been present in England since the Norman Conquest in 1066, up until the Reformation in the 16th century. Rickman provides a detailed analysis of the various architectural styles, including Norman, Early English, Decorated, and Perpendicular, and discusses the features that distinguish them from one another. In addition, the book also provides a brief overview of the Grecian and Roman orders, which were influential in shaping the development of architecture in England. This book is a valuable resource for students and enthusiasts of architecture, as well as for historians and scholars interested in the cultural and artistic history of England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Professor Donaldson, to whom the Editor begs thus publicly to express his cordial thanks; he has greatly increased the value of this useful summary of a subject which is in danger of being forgotten altogether, but of which some knowledge is essential for the proper understanding of the Medieval styles, which were gradually developed from the Bora an. The chapter on A nglo-S axon architecture, which was thrown into an Appendix in the previous editions, has now been introduced in its proper place, between the Roman and the Norman styles, with large additions. Mr. Rickman s Tour in Normandy and Picardy in 1832, first published in the twentyfifth volume of the A rchceologia, and appended to some editions of this work, has now been omitted as not necessary, the substance of his observations and large extracts being given in the list of Foreign Examples. THE TUHL, OXFOBD, July 1, 1862.
