A History of English Medieval Architecture is a book published in three volumes in 1912, re published in two volumes in 1921 and one volume in 1931, by architect and artist Cyril Edward Power . It features 424 of his drawings and illustrations and was published by Talbot Press. On July 5th, 1912, Building News stated While the ordinary reader will scan the book with pleasurable interest, the architectural student of Mediaeval architecture who believes some still believe it, we suppose even in these days that structural integrity was the raison d tre of Gothic art, will follow Mr Power s intelligent exposition with profit, and find stimulation to further study. Power himself states that the purpose of the book is to make the various stages of early life in these islands intelligible. These books were the outcome of a series of lectures Power gave in 1907 at Goldsmiths College New Cross. Renowned for their intricate detail and exhaustive research, Power shortly after their publication began lecturing in architecture at The Grosvenor School of Modern Art References The book itself br Building News Magazine br Redfern Gallery website http www.redferngallery.com link title DEFAULTSORT History of English Mediaeval Architecture Category 1912 books History of English Mediaeval Architecture Category Architecture books History of English Mediaeval Architecture Category Art history books History of English Mediaeval Architecture art book stub ... more details
