An Outline of European Architecture

Front Cover
Penguin Books, 1972 - Architecture - 496 pages
"This seventh revised edition of Nikolaus Pevsner's classic history is presented in an entirely new and attractive style. The format has been enlarged and the illustrations appear next to the passages to which they refer. Their numbers have swelled to nearly 300, including drawings, plans, and photographs. The final chapter of the Penguin Jubilee edition (published in 1960 and still available at £7 7s) has been incorporated, carrying the story from 1914 to the present day, and there are substantial additions on the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries in France as well as many minor revisions. The book tells the story of architecture by concentrating on outstanding buildings, and reads exceedingly well in its concentration and its combination of warmth and scholarship." --
