Features: France and Britain were the crucibles where truth and falsehood coexisted in the 18th century and where new architectural styles were forged in the 19th. First to emerge was Neoclassicism, followed by various styles including Neorenaissance and Neogothic. This work describes the full panorama of European architecture during this period in a very innovative way. The author consistently pays attention not only to analyzing various schools of thought and individual architectural works but also, based on in-depth research, explores the impact of overall social changes and development on architects and clients.
