‘I’m no Medievalist’: George Gilbert Scott and the Interpretation of the Gothic Revival in Remarks on Secular and Domestic Architecture: Present and Future (1857)

Abstract

En 1857, George Gilbert Scott rassemble des écrits et réflexions dans Remarks et se présente comme un ardent défenseur du gothique dans la bataille des styles qui fait alors rage. Il introduit cependant des controverses au sein du mouvement du renouveau gothique en critiquant la stricte imitation du passé et en défendant l’utilisation du gothique pour toutes sortes de bâtiments autres que religieux. Cette définition d’une véritable renaissance gothique lui vaudra des critiques virulentes de la part de médiévalistes célèbres, notamment sur les questions de la restauration et de la société industrielle de l’époque, mais révèle aussi des contradictions et tensions inhérentes au renouveau gothique.

In 1857, George Gilbert Scott gathered a number of writings and reflections in Remarks and presented himself as a staunch defender of Gothic in the then raging battle of styles. He nevertheless started controversies in the Gothic Revival movement by criticizing a strict imitation of the past and defending the use of Gothic for all sorts of buildings other than religious. This definition of a true Gothic Renaissance owed him harsh criticisms from famous medievalists, especially on the questions of restoration and the industrial society of his time, but also reveals contradictions and tensions within the Gothic Revival.
