King's College London was shown from an unflatteringly skewed angle, while Christ Church, Oxford, was edited to avoid showing its famous Tom Tower because that was by Christopher Wren and so not medieval. But the cumulative rhetorical force was tremendous." -- Wikipedia. Reprint of the 1898 Second Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine condition/No dust jacket, as issued. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound connection between religious faith and architectural expression, contrasting the soaring, awe-inspiring cathedrals of the Middle Ages with the comparatively uninspired structures of later centuries. The author argues that the grandeur and symbolic richness of Gothic architecture directly stemmed from the fervent religious devotion of the era. Every detail, from the cruciform layout to the towering spires, served as a tangible expression of Christian beliefs and aspirations. However, the rise of revived paganism and the Protestant Reformation marked a turning point, leading to a decline in both faith and architectural beauty. This shift is explored through an examination of the increasingly secular and classical influences that crept into church design, as well as the widespread destruction and neglect of medieval religious buildings. Ultimately, this book offers a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith and its enduring legacy in the magnificent structures that continue to inspire wonder and contemplation today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Second Edition. Second edition of Pugin's groundbreaking work which arguably defined the Gothic Revival in architecture. With a total of 20 plates, an addition of 5 plates (and omission of 1) from the first edition, this second edition adds the notable plates whereby Pugin shows contrasting views of English Catholic towns in 1440 versus 1880, and ancient homes for the poor versus the modern-Victorian panopticon workhouses, and in which he of course laments and "exposed the degrated [sic] state of architecture" after the Middle Ages. The "most important addition to Contrasts [second edition] was a pair of plates. . . These plates made an argument more powerful than Pugin would ever make in words." Hill, God's Architect (2007, pg. 248). 4to. v, 104pp. + 20 plates. Belcher A3.2. Scarce in commerce. Very good in modern quarter leather over marbled boards with minor scattered foxing throughout, primarily to edges.…

Third edition. Evelyn Waugh's copy with his "Industria Ditat" bookplate. With presentation inscription by Waugh in ink on bookplate "From Evelyn Waugh [using the printed name on the bookplate] to Rose Donaldson ecclesiologist + letura [sic]. Feast of the Assumption 1954" 4to., original cloth lettered in gilt on spine. Books from Evelyn Waugh's library rarely appear on the market as his library was sold en bloc to the Harry Ransom Center in Austin Texas. This book, having been previously given as a gift by Waugh, escaped that sale. This copy was a duplicate of the title in Waugh's collection, which was presumably why he was happy to give it as a gift. The 1836 first edition is among the books at the Harry Ransom Center. It is not surprising that Waugh had Pugin's landmark work in his library. He had a keen interest in nineteenth century art, with his first slim book dealing with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (1926), followed by his work on Rossetti in 1928. Waugh and Pugin also shared conversion to Catholicism. Waugh's enthusiasm for Pugin is shown in a letter to his friend Christopher Sykes (1962). Waugh encourages Sykes to come and stay with him in London to "fill you with delicate meats and rare wines, I will laugh uproariously at all your jokes, I will flatter you black and blue, I will be compliant to your taste in entertainment (buggery excepted) if you will stay at your London during these terrible days & spend the hours of 11am to 12 midnight with me." Further to this, Waugh promises to make introductions for Sykes to Patrick Balfour, Diana Cooper and "if he is in London, Charlie Chaplin," and even goes as far as to offer to "take you for the day to Ramsgate to see & pray at Pugin's tomb" To raise money for St. Dominic's Church, in Dursley, Waugh held a garden fête on August 14th 1954, and opened his house to the public. A poster for the event advertised 'Personally Conducted Tours by Miss Rose Donaldson every Twenty Minutes 4 p.m. 7 p.m. inclusive.' Rose Donaldson was the sixteen year old daughter of Waugh's friends and neighbours, Jack and Frances Donaldson. Waugh carefully rehearsed Rose with comments and observations about the various pictures on display. Knowing, for example, that William Douglas Home would be coming to write a piece for the Sunday Express, Waugh coached Rose to describe a newspaper portrayed in one painting as 'a kind of rag, the equivalent of, one might say, today's Sunday Express.' In Evelyn Waugh: Portrait of a Country Neighbour, Rose's mother recalled the contrast between Waugh's remarks and the youthful innocence of the voice delivering them. 'The effect was remarkably funny', she wrote, 'and a great success with everyone.' The following day, as a reward, Waugh gave Rose the academic gown that he had received with an honorary degree from an American university, and this copy of Pugin's Contrasts. The tours formed part of the St Dominic's Church Fete in Dursley. "Parishioners included Mrs Millicent Lister, and Mr Evelyn Waugh. These two assisted local efforts to build a proper church in Dursley, and the foundation stone of St Dominic's was laid in 1938. The church was dedicated to St Dominic in recognition of the work of the Dominican friars, and it was opened on 26th February 1939. The presbytery was built in 1954.".…
