  • Antiquaries in the Age of Romanticism: 1789-1851
    Antiquaries in the Age of Romanticism: 1789-1851 Rosemary Hill Queen Mary, University of London Submitted for the degree of PhD March 2011 1 I confirm that the work presented in this thesis and submitted for the degree of PhD is my own. Rosemary Hill 2 Abstract The thesis concentrates on the work of fourteen antiquaries active in the period from the French Revolution to the Great Exhibition in England, Scotland and France. I have used a combination of the antiquaries’ published works, which cover, among other subjects, architecture, topography, costume history, Shakespeare and the history of furniture, alongside their private papers to develop an account of that lived engagement with the past which characterised the romantic period. It ends with the growing professionalistion and specialisation of historical studies in the mid-nineteenth century which left little room for the self-generating, essentially romantic antiquarian enterprise. In so far as this subject has been considered at all it has been in the context of what has come to be called ‘the invention of tradition’. It is true that the romantic engagement with history as narrative led to some elaboration of the facts, while the newness of the enterprise laid it open to mistakes. I have not ignored this. The restoration of the Bayeux Tapestry, the forged tartans of the Sobieski Stuarts and the creation of Shakespeare’s Birthplace are all considered. Overall, however, I have been concerned not to debunk but as it were to ‘rebunk’, to see the antiquaries in their historical context and, as far as possible, in their own terms.

  • Yale University Press Pevsner Architectural Guides
    Yale university press pevsner architectural guides Continue Pevsner Architectural Guides are a series of guides to UK and Ireland architecture. Started in the 1940s by art historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, 46 volumes of the original Buildings of England series were published between 1951 and 1974. In the late 1970s, the series was distributed to Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The majority of English volumes had second editions, mainly by other authors. The final Scottish volume, Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire, was published in autumn 2016. This completed coverage of the UK series in the year of its 65th anniversary. The Irish series remains incomplete. The origins and methods of research After moving to the UK from his native Germany as a refugee in the 1930s, Nikolaus Pevsner found that the study of architectural history had little status in academia, and that the amount of information available, especially to travelers wishing to inform themselves about the architecture of a particular area, was limited. He conceived a project to write a series of comprehensive county guides to fix this, and received the support of Allen Lane, founder of Penguin Books, for whom he wrote his plan for European architecture. Work on the series began in 1945. Lane hired two part-time assistants as German refugee art historians who produced notes for Pevsner from published sources. Pevsner spent an academic vacation traveling the country to make personal observations and conduct local research before writing finished volumes. The first volume was published in 1951. Pevsner wrote thirty-two books himself and ten with collaborators, with four more from the original series written by others: two Gloucestershire volumes by David Weary, and two volumes by Kent's John Newman.
