Victorian Architecture and Dynasticism (Vol. 9)
£25.00
Studies in Victorian Architecture & Design
This volume offers the first critical account of dynasticism in Victorian architecture and design, shedding new light on the cultural dynamics and motivations of the professionals who belonged to the dynasties of the period.
Although architectural dynasties were defining features of the profession, their significance has been almost entirely overlooked by scholarship. The ninth journal demonstrates that dynasticism was a centrally formative element in the creation of Victorian architecture through six case studies and one interview.
