Soft coverThe present work is the first translation into English of Owen Jones's book, published in 1854, where he transferred to text and images the entire process of study and analysis, which contributed in a fundamental way to passing the Alhambra and architecture " moresca "from the vague terrain of romantic daydreams to contemporary disciplinary debate. His reflections will serve as a theoretical substrate for many of the architecture and decoration operations that in Victorian England articulated the fascination with Arab ornament, on the one hand, with the problems of defining the new elite modern domestic habitat, on the other.
