Summary:

"Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin was the most influential designer in nineteenth century Britain. As the architect of cathedrals, parish churches, schools, colleges, and private houses, and in particular as one of the two designers of the new Palace of Westminster, Pugin did more than anyone else to make Gothic Revival the national style in Britain, as well as other parts of the world. Pugin was also a prolific product designer, creating furniture, metalwork, silver and jewellery, textiles, wallpapers, and books in an integrated and coordinated approach to design that revolutionized public taste. He informed opinion by writing books that ranged from design manuals to polemical treatises on religious matters. Passionate about his belief in the application of medieval principles to modern design, and this Catholic faith, Pugin produced a body of work in architecture, the applied arts, and literature that is especially remarkable for a man who died at the age of forty. This book is the first to offer a complete appraisal of Pugin's life and achievements; it is published to accompany the first major Pugin exhibition ever mounted, held at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. It contains twenty-one essays by international scholars and specialists, who discuss in detail the many aspects of Pugin's life and career. The superb photography has been specially commissioned, and includes numerous objects and buildings never before reproduced." -- Dust Jacket.
