Audio Preview

A Surprising Welcome

Beckford, as we will see, quite enjoyed the ruins, and as a Romantic who explored traditional 18th-century English Landscape Gardens, he found Monserrate to be very familiar. Once, Vathek’s Arch served a purpose: when there were no protective walls surrounding the property, it stood as its entrance. Today, though it emerges from the engulfing vegetation as a surprise, both inviting visitors in and warning them: everything you see here will be unexpected.
