Summary "A B C of Gothic Architecture" by John Henry Parker is an architectural guide examining the evolution of Gothic architecture, likely written in the late 19th century. The work serves as an introduction aimed at beginners, presenting key styles and characteristics of Gothic architecture through the lens of historical examples. Parker aims to make the subject accessible to a broad audience, including children, by focusing on visual representation rather than intricate technical details. The opening of the text begins with an advertisement for the first edition, establishing the book's purpose as a foundational guide to understanding Gothic architecture. Parker explains that architecture can only be fully appreciated by visual observation of buildings across various styles, notably beginning with the Norman period leads into the broader Gothic tradition. He introduces the essential characteristics and historical context of the Gothic style, emphasizing visual knowledge, comparing the different periods and their features, and clarifying common misconceptions about architectural terminology.
