Summary

** "The Palace of Glass and the Gathering of the People: A Book for the Exhibition" by John Stoughton invites readers to consider the grand spectacle of the 1851 Great Exhibition and the Crystal Palace as more than just a display of human ingenuity; it contemplates the deeper meaning behind the collection of art, industry, and people from around the world. By drawing connections between the dreams of the past, like those of Chaucer and his glass palace, and the technological marvels of the Victorian era, the book suggests that human progress is born from visionary ideas. It contemplates how this collective demonstration of skill and artistry points toward humanity's spiritual advancement and the potential for a more unified world. **
