Sir John Newenham Summerson, CBE was one of the leading British architectural historians of the 20th century. He wrote mainly about British architecture, especially that of the Georgian Era.He was a Commissioner of the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England, curator of Sir John Soane's Museum, London and Slade Professor of Fine Art at the University of Oxford.
The exquisite beauty of buildings by Adam, Hawksmoor and others is brought into focus in the context of the ideas of the time. Sir John Summerson's classic text provides a succinct and elegant summary of the the whole period from the spirit of the Baroque at Schönbrunn in Vienna and the Winter Palace in St Petersburg to the Neo-classicism of the private houses and planned towns of the latter half of the century in Bath, Philadelphia and Washington.
