One of the most widely read books on European architecture, Nikolaus Pevsner's landmark work was first published in 1942. Updated and revised multiple times during his lifetime, it remained a seminal essay on the subject and continues to be as stimulating today as it was in the mid-twentieth century.

Sir Nikolaus Pevsner (1902-1983) was one of the most influential writers on art and architecture in the twentieth century. He gained recognition with Pioneers of Modern Design, but he is perhaps best known for his acclaimed series, The Buildings of England, considered one of the greatest scholarly achievements of the century. He also served as the founding editor of The Pelican History of Art, the most comprehensive and scholarly art history published in English.

This is a revised and updated full-color edition of the classic study on the history of European architecture.
