Book Synopsis
The diverse works of architect Nicholas Hawksmoor ranged from small architectural details to ambitious urban plans. This book presents a fresh view of Hawksmoor's built and planned work. It explains why his buildings look the way they do, what contemporary events influenced his work, and how such ancient buildings as Solomon's temple inspired him.

Trade Review
"'Hart's stimulating investigation is richly illustrated and includes many of Hawksmoor's handsome drawings.' Gillian Darley, Architects Journal (Books of the Year) 'The book is an erudite study of Hawksmoor's architecture, solidly supported by primary sources and persuasively and unpretentiously written.' Eleanor Robbins, Art Book"
