This book was published in 2003.Although it is often assumed that
British writing on architectural theory really started in the 18th
century, there is in fact a large corpus of writing on architecture
pre-dating the introduction of Palladianism by Lord Burlington.
Some of it, such as the English editions of Serlio and Palladio,
belongs to the Vitruvian tradition. But many texts elude such easy
classification, such as the prolonged (but hardly studied)
discussions on church architecture, which are both in form and
content very different from the way that theme was handled in
Italian Renaissance treatises. This collection of English writing
on architecture from 1540 to 1750 offers a large selection of
fragments, some of them never published before. They discuss the
nature of architecture, the practicalities of building, the sense
of the past, religious architecture and classicism. All fragments
are introduced and annotated to facilitate use both by
architectural historians and in the class-room.
