In the18th century, the use of Gothic form seems to be part of the pursuit of exoticism, which has strong literary significance. 1742, Langley published an exploratory paper entitled "Revival and Improvement of Gothic Architecture", trying to introduce a new French style from the medieval form, but his attempt had no impact. Debrett praised the Gothic style in Modern Encyclopedia 1842. But he regards it as "a strong and crazy imagination, which seems to have turned dreams into reality." French romantic writer chateaubriand likes Gothic architecture very much. Notre Dame de Paris, a novel written by victor hugo 183 1, was reprinted the following year, adding three chapters. This book is regarded as "the Catholic national creed and the declaration of restoring (if not reviving) Gothic architecture". What he wants to arouse is his feelings for national architecture.
