It appears not to have become a "movement" before the early , architects like Augustus Pugin and authors like John Ruskin proclaiming the Gothic Style the only "true" style for Christian buildings, and more, appear all symbols for this earlier flavour of medievalism. On the European continent similar ''medievalist'' tendencies appeared from the late 18th Century , likewise furnishing building blocks for what later would become known as the Romantic movement. In this sense "medievalism" is not to be characterised as a movement in the proper sense, but as an underlying current, one of the many " -ism s" that flowed together in making the culture of the 19th century what it was. From the 20th century Medievalism was also used as the umbrella name for '' Academic '' studies of the middle ages. ;Notes |
