Review Quotes
James Stevens Curl | Building Design
"Du Prey’s well-argued book enhances our understanding of Hawksmoor’s design processes, and sheds light into the murky corners of early 18th-century theological and political concerns. This latest book adds lustre to an engaging writer’s reputation."--James Stevens Curl, Building Design
Choice
"The close study of Nicholas Hawksmoor’s churches in London extends du Prey’s fascination with the legacy, appropriation, and adaption of classical principles and motifs in the evolving pattern of architectural representation. . . . The resulting book is a fascinating reconstruction of the social networks and cultural resources upon which Hawksmoor drew in designing his remarkable churches, enriched by intelligent analysis of the architectural fabric."
