Edmund Harris\u2019s book is the first study devoted to a much-discussed yet poorly-covered chapter in British architectural history which produced some of Victorian England\u2019s most striking and dramatic Gothic buildings. The Rogue Goths<\/strong><\/em> includes an introduction to this generation of flamboyant and eccentric architects that began to make its mark in the 1860s. There are studies of three architects Robert Lewis Roumieu<\/strong>, Bassett Keeling<\/strong>\u00a0and a similarly pioneering study of the life and work of Joseph Peacock<\/strong>, architect of St Simon Zelotes, Chelsea, one of Sir John Betjeman\u2019s favourite Victorian churches. The volume is densely illustrated with excellent new photography by Robin Forster, alongside sketches and drawings.<\/p>\n

‘Those who have followed Edmund Harris’s progress over recent years – notably his learned blog Less Eminent Victorians <\/em>– will cheer to discover that some of his knowledge has now crystallised into a book.’ Hugh Pearman, The Victorian<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘Harris is a meticulous scholar and it is obvious that a good part of what is presented here has been unearthed from years of archive riffling.’ Robert Bevan, The Times Literary Supplement<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
