Reseña:  This book is the first to investigate a fascinating and important yet relatively unfamiliar subject: the revival of interest in the Byzantine style of architecture and decoration in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Byzantine Revival was always a minority cult that attracted outsiders visionaries and extremists and Barrie Bullens original and scholarly narrative tells a vivid and entertaining story of the colourful figures in Germany Austria France Britain and America who rediscovered Byzantium and reinterpreted its style to promote widely differing aims.
