About this title

Review:

"Superbly illustrated and presented, this volume is the revelation of an underappreciated talent."
-- Richard Jenkyns, Common Knowledge, Vol. 14, No. 3

'... a rewarding publication... [The] viewpoint is remarkably successful in showing the phenomenon's real and varied content.'
-- Oxford Art Journal, April 1, 2008

'thorough and fascinating study of all aspects of Stuart's work and life, the first such comprehensive, highly illustrated account. If we were inclined to nominate anything as invidious as the 'book of the year' this would be it.' -- Anglo-Hellenic Review, Autumn 2007

...sumptous, gorgeously illustrated... -- The Sunday Telegraph, May 27, 2007

The clarity of Stuart's own drawings, which are all beautifully
reproduced in Yale University Press' book, illustrate the value of the
architect's own process of looking and seeing. -- Architect's Journal, April 12, 2007

`this book [gives] Stuart an identity apart from the dialogue of "Stuart versus Adam" and "Greece versus Rome".' -- Christopher Woodward, Times Literary Supplement, 10 August 2007
