Sir John Soane is now regarded as one of the great architects of late 18th- and early 19th- century Europe. And increasingly, contemporary architects and designers are being influenced by the subtleties of the unique "Soane style." Dorothy Stroud's masterly work is the culmination of a lifetime's research. Drawing together all the threads of her previous writings on Soane, Stroud gives us both a concise biography of the architect and a sweeping, richly illustrated survey of his works.
