About this book

This volume of the Pelican History of Art, edited by Nikolaus Pevsner, surveys building from 1800 to the middle of the twentieth century. Henry-Russell Hitchcock, an American architectural historian, divides the story into three parts: 1800 to 1850, from romantic classicism and the Gothic Revival to iron and glass; 1850 to 1900, from Second Empire Paris and High Victorian Gothic to H. H. Richardson and commercial building in England and America; and 1890 to 1955, from Art Nouveau and Frank Lloyd Wright to Gropius, Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. First published in 1958, with a second edition in 1963.
