Rousham in Oxfordshire was one of the first landscape gardens
created in England and is, still, one of the most influential.
Designed by William Kent in the late 1730s for the Cottrell-Dormer
family (who are its owners today) it has become a place of
pilgrimage for landscape architects and garden designers worldwide
as well as garden lovers. Its magical glades and sculptural
set-pieces have long intrigued Francis Hamel, who has lived and
worked there for 25 years. Since the beginning of 2020 he has
composed an extraordinary collection of paintings that capture the
gardens and their magic. With essays by Tom Stuart-Smith, Joanna
Kavenna and Christopher Woodward, the reader is led down its
mysterious pathways; from tree-shaded walks peopled with statues of
Pan, Venus and other immortals to sun-dappled meadows carpeted with
wild flowers. It is just as Kent left it- a secret garden that is
open to all.

In this enchanting meditation on ruins, Christopher Woodward takes us on a thousand-year journey from the plains of Troy to the monuments of ancient Rome, from the crumbling palaces of Sicily, Cuba, and Zanzibar to the rubble of the London Blitz. With an exquisite sense of romantic melancholy, we encounter the teenage Byron in the moldering Newstead Abbey, Flaubert watching the buzzards on the pyramids, Henry James in the Colosseum, and Freud at Pompeii. We travel the Appian Way with Dickens and behold the Baths of Caracalla with Shelley. An exhilarating tour, at once elegant and stimulating, In Ruins casts an exalting spell as it explores the bewitching power of architectural remains and their persistent hold on the imagination.

all of London's building history, from its Roman foundation to the

city on earth.
