Architecture Among the Poets

(Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part...)

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 Excerpt: ...if bent into a scroll form (Fig. 165); and this fatal error destroys its essential beauty, and reduces it to a kind of cabbage-garden ornament. In Greek work the scroll is drawn with geometrical precision and in clean sharp lines, as shown in Fig. 164; and in any cases where leafage forms a more important portion of the scroll than this, the precision of the curve and the clean character of the lines is never lost. The same tendency to severe line may be seen in the Indian example (Fig. 166), which, like a good deal of work found in India, shows manifest traces of Greek influence. In the best period of Gothic work (as in Fig. 167), the clean character of the curve is also preserved, as well as in the best Italian Renaissance ornament (Fig. 168). When we come to late English Renaissance, we often find, as in Roman work, broken and crippled curves, and straggling and ragged festoons of flowers, doing duty as "ornament" (Fig. 169); and in the later French Renaissance of Louis XIV. date, so far has the true idea of scroll design been lost sight of, that we find one of the main features of Louis Quatorze and Louis Quinze ornament consists in the introduction of a number of short portions of scrolls which only touch each other on the convex of their curves (Fig. 170), and which have lost all appearance of unity or continuity of design, and form merely a bundle of patchwork unworthy of the name of ornament. Architecture at her best will have nothing to say to these crippled and ungeometrical curves; they are not ornament, but only bungling. A curious instance of the defect arising from bad drawing of curves is shown in an example of Indian ornament in low relief (Fig. 171), from a square pillar in the Indian Museum at South Kensington. This is an odd mix...
