This collection of essays explores the origins and evolution of Gothic architecture, tracing its development from the Gothic Revival of the 18th and 19th centuries back to its medieval roots. Bentham and Warton examine the Gothic style's distinctive features, including its use of pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, and analyze its enduring popularity as a symbol of both religious and secular power.
