A comprehensive overview of the Gothic Revival in Australian architecture. 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, and even funeral parlours and tombstones. Brian Andrews explores the nature, scope and sources of the Gothic Revival in Australia between the 1840s and the 1950s, and sheds light on the origins and progress of taste during this century. Much of the Gothic Revival's modern appeal derives from furnishings, liturgical metalwork and other arts and crafts, all of which are illustrated in this book.
