Explore America's most breathtaking college campuseswhere Gilded Age wealth found a Gothic inspiration.The Collegiate Gothic style, which flourished between the Gilded Age and the Jazz Age, was intended to lend an air of dignified history to Americas relatively youthful seats of higher learning. In fact, this mashup of Oxbridge quaintness with piles of new money gave riseat schools like Princeton and Vassar, Yale and Chicagoto unprecedented architectural fantasies that reshaped the image of the college campus. Today the ivycovered monuments of Collegiate Gothic still exercise a powerful hold on the public imaginationas evidenced, for example, by their prominent place in the Dark Academia aesthetic that has swept social media.In Academia, the noted architectural historian William Morgan traces the entire arc of Collegiate Gothic, from its first emergence at campuses like Kenyon and Bowdoin to its apotheosis in James Gamble Rogerss intricately detailed confections at Yale. Ever alert to the complicated cultural and social implications of this style, Morgan devotes special sections to its manifestations at prep schools and in the American South, and to contemporary revivals by architects like Robert A. M. Stern.Illustrated throughout with wellchosen color photographs, Academia offers the ultimate campus tour of our fauxmedieval cathedrals of learning. 217 fullcolor illustrations
