Description
Sir Christopher Wren is one of the most magnanimous personages in history. His legacy not only transcends history books but is so indelibly stamped on London's skyline that urban planners build around his most famous cathedral to ensure its preservation. To date, most studies of his life and influence have been undertaken with deep academic and cerebral introspection. In contrast, this book encourages tourists, visitors or enthusiasts to appreciate Wren through a lens and language accessible to anyone interested in how he intersects culture, architecture, science and history. Highlighting Wren's singular influence through many remarkable moments in history, the book introduces readers not only to his life but also to the century in which he lived and worked. Highlighting some of Britain's most shatteringly influential moments and how Wren intersected in artistry and perseverance, this exploration of a man shrouded in imagination imagines the architect through the lens of popular culture, familiar history, and beyond, marking the most famous contributions that outlived his remarkably long life.
Beyond the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral and the steeples and stones of Wren's most familiar contributions, this book peels back the curtain on a man who withstood remarkable times, devastating loss and several hurdles to ensure his legacy was etched into Britain's (and the world's ) cultural consciousness.
