Description:Victorian re-imaginings of the medieval world helped shape British society, leaving their legacy in art, architecture, literature, religion, politics and the monarchy. Although often referred to as a ‘Gothic Revival’, in fact, nineteenth-century artists, writers and designers were magpie-like in drawing inspiration from many aspects of the long medieval period, both historical and mythological. By focusing on the impact of Victorian Medievalism in the South West of England, this study explores how the movement forged local identity and a sense of community. Written by two leading scholars in the field from the University of Exeter, the book accompanies a major exhibition at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter – a landmark building of the South West Gothic Revival. It features works by William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, William Burges, Augustus Pugin and J.W. Waterhouse, alongside displays that explore leading South West patrons and makers and the special place the region holds in the Arthurian legends which became so popular in the Victorian era. Loans from the Royal Collection, Tate, Victoria & Albert Museum, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, Ashmolean Museum, Ruskin Library and the National Trust are combined with works from Exeter’s collections.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
