Summary:

"Architect, teacher, journalist, town planner and cultural entrepreneur, Sir Charles Herbert Reilly (1874-1948) was one of the leading figures of early twentieth-century British architecture. Among his friends he counted Augustus Joh, Sir Edwin Lutyens, Clough Williams-Ellis, and the industrialist Lord Leverhulme, with whom Reilly set up the UK's first university department of town planning in Liverpool." "Marketing Modernisms is the first in-depth study of Reilly's career, from his early apprenticeship in the London offices of John Belcher to his time as Roscoe Professor of Architecture at Liverpool University, where he trained several generations of students, including the Modernist architects George Checkley and Maxwell Fry and the town-planner William Holford. The book traces Reilly's evolving architectural ethos as well as considering his involvement in town planning, the theatre and journalism."--BOOK JACKET.
