Synopsis

""A History Of The Origin And Establishment Of Gothic Architecture"" is a book written by John Sidney Hawkins in 1813. The book provides a comprehensive account of the development of Gothic architecture, from its origins in the Romanesque style to its establishment as a distinct architectural style in the Middle Ages. The author examines the key features of Gothic architecture, such as pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, and explains how they were developed and refined over time. The book also explores the social, cultural, and religious factors that influenced the development of Gothic architecture, including the rise of the medieval church and the changing attitudes towards art and architecture during the Gothic period. Overall, ""A History Of The Origin And Establishment Of Gothic Architecture"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of architecture, art, or culture during the Middle Ages.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

Part of the ensuing Inquiry on the Origin of Gothic Architecture was originally intended to have been given in substance in a work undertaken in the year 1800, and announced for publication by Mr. John Thomas Smith. The whole of the letter-press the present author had engaged to furnish, as he accordingly did, and the book was to have been entitled, An Account and Explanation of the Paintings and other Ornaments and Decorations discovered in the Year MDCCC. on the Walls of the House of Commons. In the proposals circulated by Mr. Smith this intelligence had been promised for insertion in the then projected volume; and what was to have been there introduced on the above subject was, as well as the rest of the letter-press, actually written and completely prepared, but it was prevented by an accident from appearing in print.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
