Scope note
The retention or imitation of what is old or obsolete, especially the use in language, art, and other cultural areas of the characteristics of an earlier period. It often is based on the belief in the innate value of the earlier model coming from a simpler, purer golden age, and that the revival of these forms will encourage a revival of the imagined quality of life of those former days.
