At age 20, Latrobe had made significant advances in his architectural career. While his early works may have been unremarkable, his later ones showed an increased degree of independence from Latrobe’s flat cardboard Gothic aesthetic.
His analysis of Henry IV’s career coincides with an increasing tendency in historiography towards analysing aristocratic tourneying culture as its own entity rather than as an attractive Romantic set piece. Unfortunately, this book may be overly lengthy for its intended purposes: its fourteen chapters cover just one year in Henry’s life while providing too much detail for such a limited topic as Henry’s life story.
