Summary:
Pugin was one of Britain’s greatest architects and his short career one of the most dramatic in architectural history. Born in 1812, the son of the soi-disant Comte de Pugin, at 15 Pugin was working for King George IV at Windsor Castle. By the time he was 21 he had been shipwrecked, bankrupted and widowed. Nineteen years later he died, insane and disillusioned, having changed the face and the mind of British architecture. God’s Architect is the first full modern biography of this extraordinary figure. It draws on thousands of unpublished letters and drawings to recreate his life and work as architect, propagandist and romantic artist as well as the turbulent story of his three marriages, the bitterness of his last years and his sudden death at 40. It is the debut of a remarkable historian and biographer.

Summary:
In the late nineteenth century the conventions of Victorian domesticity came under scrutiny by British writers, designers, artists, and architects intent on bringing a modern spirit into the home. Seeking to redefine the spaces of middle-class private life, figures such as E. M. Forster, Roger Fry, Oscar Wilde, James McNeill Whistler, and Virginia Woolf attempted to rethink Victorian design and reconstruct the form, function, and meaning of the home to meet the demands of modernity. In this study, Rosner draws on a host of previously unexamined archival sources and reveals the many personal and aesthetic connections among modern British writers, interior designers, and architects, elegantly synthesizing modernist literature with architectural plans, room designs, and decorative art.
