Description
This is a critical biography of the architect Pugin (1812-1852) looking at his life, work and thought together and setting them in the context of the Romantic Movement and modernism. Most famous for building Big Ben and his books "Contrasts" and "True Principles of Pointed Architecture" which changed the course of 19th-century building design, Hill shows how his irascible nature and Ruskin's theft of his ideas have conspired to obscure his importance to a large extent.
