Nikolaus Pevsner was one of the most important and influential art
historians of the twentieth century. He opened up new areas of
enquiry in the history of art, revolutionising architectural
studies in England and playing a key role in establishing the
discipline of design history. Through his lectures and broadcasts,
as well as the remarkable volumes in The Buildings of England
series which made him a household name, he did much to encourage
greater interest in, and understanding of, art and architecture
among a wide public. This wide-ranging collection of essays, based
on papers delivered at the conference held at Birkbeck in
celebration of the centenary of Pevsner's birth, offers the first
sustained critical assessment of Pevsner's achievements. With
contributions by leading international scholars, the volume brings
together a wealth of new material on Pevsner and his intellectual
background, both in Germany in the late 1920s and 1930s and in
England, particularly in the 1940s and 1950s.
