The Englishness of English Art by Nikolaus Pevsner
Analyzes the national characteristics of English art. Pevsner shows that in order to understand the cultural geography of a nation it is necessary to examine its polarities, since it is only by looking at the contradictions that we can hope to discover what is specifically English in each style.
Nikolaus Pevsner (1902-83), a distinguished scholar of art and architecture, was best known as editor of the 46-volume series The Buildings of England and as founding editor of The Pelican History of Art. Both of these prestigious series are currently published by Yale University Press. Richard Weston is professor at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University. He has published extensively on twentieth-century architecture, including his book Materials, Form, and Architecture, published by Yale University Press.
