Book Description
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, silver,textiles, stained glass, and jewellery, 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. It cuts a cross-section through early Victorian society: his correspondents range from earls and bishops to painters and tradesmen. The letters illuminate majorpublic events like the Oxford Movement, the (Roman) Catholic revival, and the Great Exhibition of 1851. They are vigorous, direct, often witty and provide an invaluable source for architectural and religio-historical research. Dr Belcher's very thorough research generally transforms what has oftenbeen a blank area, drawing together many sources. By 1842, when this volume ends, Pugin is established in his career. He has written books, designed buildings, found his faith, and made himself known.

Aspects of the Georgian Church
Author: Judith Jago
Publisher: Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press
ISBN: 9780838636923
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Dr. Jago reinforces the view of recent scholars that, when judged by what it tried to do instead of by what Victorian reformers thought it ought to have tried to do, the Georgian church was successful in maintaining the spiritual life of the parishes - though perhaps not so well-equipped to survive intact the unprecedented changes in population and industry that reshaped Yorkshire and English society in the later eighteenth century.
