Summary: "In this volume fifteen distinguished writers on architecture offer essays to mark the retirement of Professor David Watkin from the University of Cambridge. Linked by the common theme of classicism, the chapters are divided into three sections. The first section is concerned with architectural ideas and includes essays on Renaissance interpretations of Vitruvius, Roman Catholic chapels in post-Reformation London, and the architectural writers John Summerson and Hope Bagenal; the central section addresses aspects of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century neoclassicism and includes new work on Marie-Joseph Peyre, Charles Barry, and C.R. Cockerell; and the final section is devoted to studies of classicism and the Picturesque in the twentieth century. Essays in this last section include studies of Albert Richardson and the architectural partnership of McMorran and Whitby, as well as an account of the rise of postmodernism in relation to the Architecture of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts exhibition held at The Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1975-6. The book includes 107 monochome illustrations and a full bibliography of David Watkin's own writings." "The authors of the book include Barry Bergdoll, Anthony Geraghty, Manolo Guerci, John Harris, Richard John, Robin Middleton, Roderick O'Donnell, Alan Powers, John Martin Robinson, Frank Salmon, Charles Saumarez Smith, Roger Scruton, Gavin Stamp, John Wilton-Ely, and Christopher Woodward." 3 Kg.
