Robert Willis' monumental architectural history of the University
of Cambridge, first published in 1886 in a revised and extended
edition by his nephew J. W. Clark, was hailed as 'one of the most
important contributions to the social and intellectual history of
England which has ever been made by a Cambridge man.' These fully
illustrated volumes are here reprinted in their entirety, with a
modern introduction by Professor David Watkin. Although Willis and
Clark has always been recognised by those interested generally in
the conservation of buildings and in the historic development of
architectural style and taste, its unique collection of over three
hundred plans, antique and specially commissioned engravings is
alone sufficient to make this an indispensable work of reference on
Cambridge architecture before the onset of the modern age.
