Description
A concise biography of England's most prolific architect since Sir Christopher Wren.
Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869–1944) designed the Cenotaph in Whitehall, country houses, and the memorials to commemorate the dead of the First World War.
Michael Barker explores Lutyens' projects in the UK, Western Europe, South Africa, India and the United States of America, and the different stylistic path he took from that of his famous contemporaries Frank Lloyd Wright and Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
