Notes

"GOTHIC REVIVAL WAS one of the dominant styles in British architecture from shortly after 1800 until the early twentieth century, and it was also popular on the Continent and in America. Like Pre-Raphaelite painting and the medieval tendencies of the Aesthetic and Arts and Crafts movements, it reflected a longing for a time before the industrial revolution, a time when beautiful churches could be built by hand through the collaboration of whole communities, in an ennobling kind of labor far removed from the dehumanizing factories of the Victorian age. Gothic Revival textiles were produced simultaneously with the resurgences of interest in the Gothic."
