About this title

About the Author:

Sir Nikolaus Pevsner (1902-83), one of the most learned and stimulating twentieth-century writers on art and architecture, began his career in Germany. He later became Professor of History of Art at Birkbeck College (University of London), Slade Professor of Fine Art at Cambridge and a Gold Medallist of the Royal Institute of British Architects. In addition to The Buildings of England, first published from 1951 to 1974, he was founding editor of The Pelican History of Art and of The Buildings of Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Among his many publications are An Outline of European Architecture, Pioneers of Modern Design and A History of Building Types.

Research and writing of the series is funded by three independent registered charities: the Buildings of Ireland Charitable Trust (no. 398546), the Buildings of Scotland Trust (SCO 17602) and the Pevsner Books Trust (no. 1042101), which also supports www.pevsner.co.uk and www.lookingatbuildings.org.uk.
