This book, first published in 1891, was a milestone in the linking of mysticism (and transcendental experience) to the design process. William Lethaby, the first Professor of Design at the Royal College of Art, and a leader in the Arts and Crafts Movement in England, examined folk customs, myths, and tales of many ancient civilizations in presenting his view of architecture as not just a battle of styles, nor exclusively a matter of function, but rather an expression of secret meanings that lie deeply embedded in the human psyche and are linked to ancient and universal symbolism. A passionate advocate of craftsmanship and individual expression, William Lethaby's influence lay in the realm of ideas, where, in his pursuit of "architectural legend" and the "esoteric principles of architecture", the author did for architecture what Frazer had done for literary allusion in "The Golden Bough". Today's fascination with all aspects of the occult has gained for this book a growing underground reputation, quite apart from, and in addition to, its established importance as a historical document. The original edition, virtually unobtainable for many years, has now been reprinted with an introduction and bibliography by Godfrey Rubens, a Leon Fellow, who is presently at work on a full-length biography of William Lethaby and his circle.
