Vaughan Hart is a professor of architecture at the University of Bath.
“Absorbing”—Keith Miller, Times Literary Supplement
“[O]ffers new insight into this facet of the architect by tracing a
substantial component of Wren’s architectural activity that
involved his study and adoption of Eastern sources. Wren’s interest
in antiquarianism and architectural models from the Orient is well
known, but Hart’s is the first comprehensive study dedicated to
unfolding this complex constellation of architectural references.”—
Gregorio Astengo, Architectural Histories
“From impressive research and clear argument, Vaughan Hart has
produced a beautifully illustrated, fresh understanding of Wren’s
churches and their relationship to the East.”—Benedict Vickery,
Skyline [Magazine]
“Lavishly illustrated and beautifully formatted, the pages behind
this evocative front cover take the reader on a richly
detailed tour of Wren’s study and use of ancient and early
Christian Eastern buildings and of the international information
networks supporting Wren’s study.”—Kimberley Skelton, Transactions
of the Ancient Monuments Society
