Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Gothic Architecture and Sexuality in the Circle of Horace Walpole shows that the Gothic style in architecture and the decorative arts and the tradition of medievalist research associated with Horace Walpole (17171797) and his circle cannot be understood independently of their own homoerotic culture. Centered around Walpoles Gothic villa at Strawberry Hill in Twickenham, Walpole and his Strawberry Committee of male friends, designers, and dilettantes invigorated an extraordinary new mode of Gothic design and disseminated it in their own commissions at Old Windsor and Donnington Grove in Berkshire, Lee Priory in Kent, the Vyne in Hampshire, and other sites. Matthew M. Reeve argues that the new third sex of homoerotically inclined men and the new modern styles that they promotedincluding the Gothic style and chinoiseriewere interrelated movements that shaped English modernity. The Gothic style offered the possibility of an alternate aesthetic and gendered order, a queer reversal of the dominant Palladian style of the period. Many of the houses built by Walpole and his circle were understood by commentators to be manifestations of a new queer aesthetic, and in describing them they offered the earliest critiques of what would be called a queer architecture. Exposing the role of sexual coteries in the shaping of eighteenth-century English architecture, this book offers a profound and eloquent revision to our understanding of the origins of the Gothic Revival and to medievalism itself. It will be welcomed by architectural historians as well as scholars of medievalism and specialists in queer studies. Addresses the question of how and why Horace Walpole and the men of his circle promoted the Gothic style in art, architecture, and literature in the latter half of the eighteenth century.

Hardback. Condition: New. Leading architect E.J. Lennox designed Casa Loma for the flamboyant Sir Henry Pellatt and Mary, Lady Pellatt as an enormous castellated mansion that overlooked the booming metropolis of Toronto. The first scholarly book dedicated to this Canadian landmark, Casa Loma situates the famous "house on the hill" within Toronto's architectural, urban, and cultural history. Casa Loma was not only an outsized home for the self-appointed "Lord Toronto" but a statement of Canada's association with empire, an assertion of the country's British legacy. During and after the Pellatts' occupation, Casa Loma was a major landmark, and it has since infiltrated the iconography and collective memory of the metropolis. The reception of Casa Loma, variously loved and abhorred by Torontonians, reflects many of Toronto's major aspirations and anxieties about itself as a modern city. Across ten chapters, this book charts the history of Casa Loma from the purchase of the estate atop Davenport Ridge in 1903 and its construction from 1906, through to its sale and the dispersal of its contents in 1924, its subsequent life as a hotel, and finally its transformation into one of the city's major entertainment venues. Casa Loma brings to light a wealth of hitherto unpublished archival images and documentation of the house's visual and material culture, weaving together a textured account of the design, use, and life of this unique building over the course of the twentieth century.…
