Summary "Some Account of Gothic Architecture in Spain" by George Edmund Street is an architectural treatise written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the exploration and documentation of Gothic architecture throughout Spain, a subject the author believes has received insufficient attention. Through his detailed observations from his travels, Street aims to shed light on the historical significance and artistic developments of Gothic structures in the country. The opening of the book introduces Street's motivation for undertaking the extensive study of Spanish Gothic architecture. Expressing a genuine admiration for the art form, he reflects on the challenges and discoveries of his travels across Spain, emphasizing the enjoyment he derived from exploring lesser-known regions filled with historic buildings. He outlines the gaps in existing scholarship, noting that many crucial works have not been thoroughly documented, and he hopes that his observations will both inspire further exploration and contribute to a richer understanding of Spain's architectural heritage. Throughout the beginning, Street also acknowledges the blend of personal experience and historical context that he will weave into his account, creating a foundation for a comprehensive overview of Gothic architecture within the country.
