The trend of Gothic revival was roughly from the end of 18 to the 1930s of 19. Italian architect L. Bennevog said that from the middle of18th century, the possibility of imitating Gothic architecture appeared in architectural thought, instead of classical form, and its phenomenon appeared in the marginal part of the whole neoclassicism circle, which implicitly determined the characteristics used to choose neoclassicism. 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 national creed of Catholicism and the declaration of restoring Gothic architecture". What he wants to arouse is his feelings for national architecture.
