The article examines the 19th-century European perception of architecture – and architectural style – \nas an expression of history and culture that can only be fully explicated through a verbal, literary \ntext. This concept was particularly active in discussions of national identity. Architecture was both \nreflective on a national culture and at the same time called upon to further reflect and express that \nculture. On this basis arose critical interpretations of eclectic, historicist architectural styles. The \narticle discusses the origins of this historicist concept in Victor Hugo’s novel Notre Dame de Paris and \nits elaboration in the work of Nikolai Gogol, Fedor Dostoevsky and the Marquis de Custine
