About This Item
(London: Penguin, 2008). 197 x 128 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. xiii + (i) + 602 + (viii); plates, some of which in full colour. Slightest curl to wraps. Near fine condition. "During his short life Pugin was shipwrecked, bankrupted, widowed twice and driven to madness. Yet by the time of his death at forty he had changed the face of Britain with his visionary Gothic architecture, designing churches, cathedrals, houses and furnishings, and even sketching designs for the clock tower that would become famous as 'Big Ben' in his last moments of sanity. Rosemary Hill's astonishing biography reveals the extraordinary story of his turbulent, romantic life for the first time." .
