Reviews

"Harris well conveys the restless side of Hansom's character: here was a man always on the move who persisted despite severe early setbacks and, in so doing, helped define his profession, leaving behind not just numerous fine buildings but also an architectural dynasty." - Dr. Nigel Aston University of Leicester "It is remarkable that so eminent a Victorian as Joseph Hansom has had to await a full-length biography for so long... This is an important study of an important man. It tells us much about Victorian architects and architecture, aesthetics and taste and about patterns of patronage at a momentous time in British history." - Prof. Maurice Whitehead Swansea University"
