I want to know the answer to the following question:
Prior to what century had there been little contact between western europe and greek civilization?
All the background I'm provided with is that "A number of British architects in the second half of the century took up the expressive challenge of the Doric from their aristocratic patrons, including Joseph Bonomi and John Soane, but it was to remain the private enthusiasm of connoisseurs up to the first decade of the 19th century.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
