First full-length study of the impact of the Gothic Revival across the
arts, from literature and architectural theory to houses, furniture and interiors.The Gothic
Revival, rich, ambitious, occasionally eccentric, but nonetheless visually exciting, is one
of Britain's greatest contributions to early modern design history, not least because for
the most part it contravened approvedtaste: Classicism. Scholars have tended to treat
Georgian Gothic as an homogenous and immature precursor to "e;high"e;
Victorian Gothic, and centred their discussion around Walpole's Strawberry Hill. This book,
conversely, reveals how the style was imaginatively and repeatedly revised and incorporated
into prevailing eighteenth-century fashions: Palladianism, Rococo, Neoclassicism, and
antiquarianism. It shows how under the control of architects, from Wren toPugin, Walpole and
Cottingham, and furniture designs, especially those of Chippendale, and Ince and Mayhew, a
shared language of Gothic motifs was applied to British architecture, furniture and
interiors. Georgian Britain was awash with Gothic forms, even if the arbiters of taste
criticised it vehemently. Throughout, the volume reframes the Gothic Revival's expression by
connecting it with Georgian understandings of the medieval past, and consequently revises
our interpretation of one of the most influential, yet lampooned, forms of material culture
at the time. Peter N. Lindfield is a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow at the
University of Stirling.
