Australian Gothic: The Gothic Revival in Australian Architecture from the 1840s to the 1950s (Second Miegunyah Press Series) Book

Australian Gothic is the first comprehensive book on the Australia face of that remarkable nineteenth-century movement, the Gothic Revival. With its roots in late-1830s England, this earnest return to building in the style of the Middle Ages touched most aspects of the Australian built environment, including houses, churches, banks, schools, even funeral parlors and tombstones. The majestic cathedrals of Australia's major cities are its most monumental expression, but no less significant are the wooden-box churches in remote outback towns, with their pointed-arch doors and windows. Brian Andrews explores the nature, scope and sources of the Gothic Revival, from the grand buildings, the great architects and their patrons, to the not-so-good, the humorous, the pretentious, the copy-cats and their works.Read More
