Summary:

"The details of Edwardian buildings are derivative, being drawn from whatever styles were deemed appropriate by the architect. Richard Fellows' book responds to the salient characteristics of the period. It explores the new methods and techniques that were available and the mixture of tradition and progress, as well as the influence of the arts and crafts movement that marks out architecture at the turn of the century." "Edwardian Civic Buildings and their Details has a strong underlying purpose, an attempt to engender an appreciation of the subject and so arrest the decay, decline and possible demolition of some important buildings. Richard Fellows shows how the civic qualities most admired in Edwardian architecture were achieved, in order to encourage those engaged in the process of building design and procurement to recapture the spirit, if not the style, of the years around the turn of the century."--Jacket.
