In his article “The Variety of Scale” in the December issue, Cecil Elliott discussed a concept which, though of manifold intellectual ramifications, is relatively free from emotive content. The case is very different with the subject of the following article. For reasons connected with the history of modern architecture and the ideals of certain of the most articulate of its pioneers and theorists, monumentality is a word which, encountered on the printed page, provokes in most of us an instant reaction of a non-rational kind. Yet, as Professor Elliott points out, there has as a matter of historical fact been a revival of monumentality, and of the monument too, during the past two decades. In view of this, the time has clearly come for a reconsideration of the subject of monuments and monumentality.
