A taste for the romantic, fostered by the novels of Sir Walter Scott and a fondness for the medieval past, spurred the revival of Gothic designs during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. As James Massey and Shirley Maxwell show in this fact-filled sampler, Gothic Revival caught the fancy of many Victorians who sought refuge in supposedly simpler days.
