PuginBinding: HardbackPublished: St Barnabas Press, Oxford, 1969Condition:Book: GoodJacket: Worn/faded, no tearsPages: GoodMarkings: Previous ownerCondition remarks: General wear on cover, pages in very good conditionThe influential treatise An Apology For The Revival Of Christian Architecture In England presents a compelling case for the resurgence of Gothic principles in ecclesiastical design. This foundational text passionately argues for the moral and aesthetic superiority of medieval Christian architecture over contemporary styles. It meticulously details the historical decline of architectural standards and illustrates the spiritual significance inherent in traditional forms. Pugin's incisive critique and visionary proposals shaped the discourse on architectural reform throughout the Victorian era. A vital document for understanding 19th-century art history and the enduring legacy of Gothic Revivalism, it remains a cornerstone of architectural theory. Hardback.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 2nd Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page. Dust jacket has wear to edges and spine. Marks on back cover. Interior and binding are still very good. Foundational polemical text of the 19th-century Gothic Revival movement in architecture. Pugin argues that a society's moral health dictates the quality of its architecture, using visual satire to contrast the supposed beauty of the medieval Catholic era with the degradation of industrial, 19th-century Britain. The text established the principle of architectural truth, promoting the idea that a building's design must honestly reflect its purpose and internal structure. This edition is a facsimile reproduction of Pugin's seminal work, including an introduction by the eminent American architectural historian Henry-Russell Hitchcock. Includes architectural plates of famous landscape and civic and social structures, ecclesiastical and religious comparisons of monuments, etc. The archaeological study of the Gothic of the Middle Ages by English scholars over the preceding 20 years provided the background for Pugin's familiarity with and enthusiasm for the noble edifices of the medieval, Catholic past which he believed his contemporaries should emulate.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 350 pages. The Glossary is Pugin?s largest and most magnificent book. He intended that his two Dublin Review articles of 1842 would be accompanied by a third dealing with ornament and decoration. However, this developed into a grand survey church ornaments, vessels and vestments which are dealt with alphabetically, including long-forgotten ones he hoped to revive. This masterly survey reveals the extrao rdinary breadth and depth of Pugin?s researches. Its chief glory lies in 73 su perb chromolithographs showing ?correctly? vested clergy and a wide range of patterns for embroidery, monograms and emblems. ?Never ? in modern days at least ? were illuminations more exquisite, concluded The Ecclesiologist (1844) . Even today, Pugin?s Glossary remains a locus classicus for the church furnis hing. The edition reproduced is that of 1846, revised and enlarged by the Rev. B ernard Smith. To it has been added an insightful introduction by Michael Fisher, author of the acclaimed ?Gothic Forever?: A.W.N. Pugin, Lord Shrewsbury and the Rebuilding of Catholic England.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. The importance of A. W. N. Pugin (1812-52) in the history of the Gothic Revival, in the development of ecclesiology, in the origins of the Arts and Crafts Movement, and in architectural theory is incontestable. A leading British architect who was also a designer of furniture, textiles, stained glass, metalwork, and ceramics, he is one of the most significant figures of the mid-nineteenth century and one of the greatest designers. His correspondence is important because it provides more insight into the man and more information about his work than any other source. This volume, the fourth of five, contains letters from 1849 and 1850. Happily married, Pugin was more settled in his home at The Grange in Ramsgate in these years than he had ever been before. He completed his long-contemplated book on Floriated Ornament. At first he appears principally as a designer of stained glass, often working for other architects: pre-eminent, he supplies Charles Barry, William Butterfield, R. C. Carpenter, G. G. Scott, for instance. The letters display his knowledge of surviving medieval glass, biblical and historical sources, hagiography, heraldry, iconography, besides revealing his attention to details of composition, texture, colour, the representation of figures, the effects of lighting. Next door to his house, he continued to build the church of St Augustine, which was ready for opening in August 1850. Later that year, two public events quickened the pace of Pugin's life: the Roman Catholic hierarchy was restored in England, and the Great Exhibition was announced for 1851. Personally insulted because of his religion, Pugin defended his embattled faith in the ensuing uproar; at the same time he began to make a multitude of designs for his colleagues to execute: together they produced what came to be called the Medieval Court, the outstanding display in the exhibition and a masterpiece of lasting influence.…
