Taylor begins \u003ci\u003eThe Castles of the Rhine\u003c\/i\u003e with a synopsis of the major political, social and intellectual changes that influenced castle rebuilding in the nineteenth century. He then focuses on selected castles, describing their turbulent histories from the time of their original construction, through their destruction or decay, to their rediscovery in the 1800s and their continued preservation today. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Reading this book is equivalent to looking at history though a romantic-nationalist kaleidoscope. Amply illustrated with maps and photographs, \u003ci\u003eThe Castles of the Rhine\u003c\/i\u003e is a wonderful companion for anyone with dreams or experience of journeying along the Rhine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert R.
