This work unravels the meanings that Gothic held for its many reinventors - from the political uses of Gothic history in the 17th century to Barry and Pugin's Houses of Parliament in the 19th century. The book examines the influence of Gothic as a dominant cultural and architectural force.

Recensioner i media

Chris Brooks fulfils every expectation, indeed exceeds it. This breathtaking and stimulating survey ... offers, in one grand, sweeping narrative, an entirely new interpretation, at a stroke advancing a field which has been stagnant for too long.

Burlington Magazine


This book ... is animated by so rich an appreciation of the difference between a stylistic fashion and a major cultural strain as to be something of a miracle. Chris Brooks' text is a skilful descriptive and analytical synthesis ... It ranges convincingly between matters as far apart, chronologically and otherwise, as the rebuilding of Orléans Cathedral and the absurdities of "Gothic Punk".

World of Interiors


This is the most complete study available, and Brooks is a confident and reliable guide.
