English Gothic Revival

The English Gothic Revival was an architectural movement that began in the late 18th century and gained prominence in the 19th century. Inspired by medieval Gothic architecture, it featured elements like pointed arches, intricate stonework, and tall, narrow windows. Key examples include the Houses of Parliament and St. Pancras Station in London. This style aimed to evoke a sense of history and morality, reflecting a reaction against industrialization and the rise of neoclassical architecture. It also encompassed other arts, influencing literature and design, and symbolized a nationalistic and romantic longing for the past.
