Outline of European Architecture, An

One of the most widely read boks on European architecture, Nikolaus Pevsners landmark work was first published in 1942. Through several revisions and updates during Pevsners lifetime, it continued to be a seminal essay on the subject, and even after his death, it remains as stimulating as it was back in the mid-twentieth century.

Sir Nikolaus Pevsner (19021983) was one of the twentieth centurys most learned and stimulating writers on art and architecture. He established his reputation with Pioneers of Modern Design, though he is probably best known for his celebrated series of guides, The Buildings of England, acknowledged as one of the great achievements of twentieth-century scholarship. He was also founding editor of The Pelican History of Art, the most comprehensive and scholarly history of art ever published in English.
