Description
Jump into this lively introduction to the phase of the Romantic Movement that sought to recapture the glories of the Middle Ages in the midst of the Industrial Revolution. From unpromising beginnings at the hands of such mavericks as Horace Walpole, Ann Radcliffe and the eccentric plutocrat William Beckford, the Gothic Revival style eventually caught on like wildfire in Europe and America during the mid- to late-nineteenth century. Strap in for a fast-paced and inspiring survey of the phenomenon, including figures such as Tennyson, Pugin, and Julia Margaret Cameron.
