"Some Account of Gothic Architecture in Spain" by George Edmund Street is a detailed examination of Spanish Gothic architecture, a topic the author feels is often overlooked. The book kicks off with the author sharing why he wanted to deeply study the unique architecture, recounting his exciting journeys across Spain and the joy he found in uncovering ancient buildings in hidden places. He points out that many important buildings haven't been documented well enough and wants his work to spark more exploration and give everyone a better understanding of Spain's architectural history. Street also tells how he’ll mix his own experiences with historical facts to paint a complete picture of Gothic architecture in Spain.
