by J. H. V. Davies
The growth of interest in Victorian architecture over recent years has now culminated in the setting up of a society devoted to its preservation. Yet, the speaker argues, we have still to find rational criteria for assessing the true quality of Victorian buildings. Nothing is gained by ' plunging head first into Victorian architecture uttering delighted cries when we strike anything particularly knobbly '; nor is it helpful to apply to Victorian work criteria derived from the study of modern architecture.
(The recorded broadcast of Feb. 10)
