On The English Origin Of Gothic Architecture is a book written by John Henry Parker and published in 1870. The book explores the origins of Gothic architecture and argues that it originated in England, rather than in France as is commonly believed. Parker uses historical evidence and architectural analysis to support his theory, examining the development of Gothic architecture in England from the Norman Conquest to the 14th century. He also discusses the influence of English Gothic architecture on the rest of Europe, particularly on the Gothic Revival movement of the 19th century. The book includes illustrations and photographs of Gothic buildings and architectural details, as well as diagrams and plans of Gothic structures. On The English Origin Of Gothic Architecture is considered a seminal work in the study of Gothic architecture and has influenced subsequent scholarship on the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
