John Nash by Geoffrey Tyack
Responsible for the creation of Regent Street, Regent's Park, the Brighton Pavilion and Buckingham Palace, John Nash is universally recognised as one of the most important architects of late 18th-early 19th century Britain. This book brings together recent scholarship, and so brings this most engaging of architects to a new generation.
'Underpinned with a great deal of new research, this book offers a refreshing reappraisal of Nash and authoritatively sets out his impressive architectural achievement'
The book is outstandingly well illustrated, with a full range of colour photographs, numerous historic photographs and plans from the archives of English Heritage, and liverla use of engravings published in the 1820s and 30s which presented Nash's new London buildings in the most glamerous way possible-- John Newman * Transactions of the Ancient Monuments Society, 58 *
The format means that the book can be dipped into and the illustrations enjoyed, but it is also easy to read as a whole or by treating chapters as individual essays. -- Kate Andrew * SPAB, The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, Autumn 2014 *
