Hailed as one of the key theoreticians of modernism, Eug???ne-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc was also the most renowned restoration architect of his age, a celebrated medieval archaeologist and a fervent champion of Gothic revivalism. He published some of the most influential texts in the history of modern architecture such as the Dictionnaire raisonn??? de l'architecture fran?ºaise du XIe au XVIe si???cle and Entretiens sur l'architecture, but also studies on warfare, geology and racial history.
