In "The Principles of Gothic Ecclesiastical Architecture, Elucidated by Question and Answer," Matthew Holbeche Bloxam provides a comprehensive exploration of the intricacies of Gothic architecture through a structured format that pairs inquiry with thorough elucidation. This 4th edition enhances previous iterations by incorporating additional insights and illustrations that deepen understanding of the form's stylistic elements and structural principles. Bloxam'Äôs meticulous approach positions the book not merely as a guide but as a scholarly engagement with the philosophical and aesthetic dimensions that characterize Gothic ecclesiastical design in the 19th century context, reflecting the period's revival of interest in medieval aesthetics. Matthew Holbeche Bloxam, an influential figure in architectural history, was committed to the study and preservation of Gothic architecture. His background in the arts and his experiences observing the architectural landscapes of Britain positioned him uniquely to articulate the significance of Gothic forms. His engaged scholarship reflects broader Victorian concerns with history, religion, and national identity, which undoubtedly fueled his desire to document these principles for future generations of architects and lay enthusiasts alike. This work is essential for students, practitioners, and admirers of architecture seeking to understand the underpinning philosophies of the Gothic style. Bloxam's text not only acts as a scholarly resource but also serves as an invitation to appreciate the beauty and complexity of Gothic ecclesiastical structures, making it a vital addition to any architectural library.

Book Excerpt: ...was designated as the FLORID; though it has since received the more general appellation of the PERPENDICULAR.This style prevailed till the Reformation, at which period no country could vie with our own in the number of religious edifices, which had been erected in all the varieties of style that had prevailed for many preceding ages. Next to the magnificent cathedrals, the venerable monasteries and collegiate establishments, which had been founded and sumptuously endowed in every part of the kingdom, might most justly claim the preeminence; and many of the churches belonging to them were deservedly held in admiration for their grandeur and architectural elegance of design.But the suppression of the monasteries tended in no slight degree to hasten the decline and fall of our ancient church architecture, to which other causes, such as the revival of the classic orders in Italy, also contributed. The churches belonging to the conventual foundations, which had been built at different periods by th...

DEFINITION OF GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE; ITS ORIGIN, AND THE DIVISION OF IT INTO STYLES. Q. What is meant by the term "Gothic Architecture"? A. Without entering into the derivation of the word "Gothic," it may suffice to state that it is an expression sometimes used to denote in one general term, and distinguish from the Antique, those peculiar modes or styles in which most of our ecclesiastical and many of our domestic edifices of the middle ages have been built. In a more confined sense, it comprehends those styles only in which the pointed arch predominates, and it is then often used to distinguish such from the more ancient Anglo-Saxon and Norman styles. Q. To what can the origin of this kind of architecture be traced? A. To the classic orders in that state of degeneracy into which they had fallen in the age of Constantine, and afterwards; and as the Romans, on their voluntary abandonment of Britain in the fifth century, left many of their temples and public edifices remaining, together with some Christian churches, it was in rude imitation of the Roman structures of the fourth century that the most ancient of our Anglo-Saxon churches were constructed. This is apparent from an examination and comparison of such with the vestiges of Roman buildings we have existing. Q. Into how many different styles may English ecclesiastical architecture be divided? A. No specific regulation has been adopted, with regard to the denomination or division of the several styles, in which all the writers on the subject agree: but they may be divided into seven, which, together with the periods when they flourished, may be generally defined as follows: The Saxon Or Anglo-Saxon Style, which prevailed from the mission of Augustine, at the close of the sixth, to the middle of the eleventh century. The Norman style, which may be said to have prevailed generally from the middle of the eleventh to the latter part of the twelfth century. The Semi-Norman, Or Transition style, which appears to have prevailed during the latter part of the twelfth century. The Early English, or general style of the thirteenth century. The Decorated English, or general style of the fourteenth century. The Florid Or Perpendicular English, the style of the fifteenth, and early part of the sixteenth century. The Debased English, or general style of the latter part of the sixteenth and early part of the seventeenth century, towards the middle of which Gothic architecture, even in its debased state, became entirely discarded. Q. What constitutes the difference of these styles? A. They may be distinguished partly by the form of the arches, which are triangular-headed, semicircular or segmental, simple pointed, and complex pointed; though such forms are by no means an invariable criterion of any particular style; by the size and shape of the windows, and the manner in which they are subdivided or not by transoms, mullions, and tracery; but more especially by certain minute details, ornamental accessories and mouldings, more or less peculiar to particular styles, and which are seldom to be met with in any other. Q. Are the majority of our ecclesiastical buildings composed only of one style? A. Most of our cathedral and country churches have been built, or had additions made to them, at different periods, and therefore seldom exhibit an uniformity of design; and many churches have details about them of almost every style....
