Contains biographical information on some 2,000 architects who practised in England, Scotland, and Wales
Architecture and the After-life
The Pyramids and the Taj Mahal are witness to the extravagant architectural tributes that, throughout human history, the great and the wealthy have paid to their dead. In this book, a well-known architectural historian provides a history of funerary architecture in western Europe from the earliest megalithic tombs of prehistory to the establishment of public cemeteries in the nineteenth century. With sensitivity and wit, Howard Colvin traces the ways in which these structures represent changing ideas about the after-life as well as changes in architectural style.
Essays in English Architectural History

In this volume, Colvin gathers eighteen new and revised essays written throughout his distinguished career.

Architectural History After Colvin
As well as being a history tutor at St John's for more than fifty years, Howard Colvin was one of the most important historians of the twentieth century. He transformed the discipline of architectural history in what has since been called 'the Colvin revolution', applying his prodigious memory and forensic mind to a subject that had long been characterized by amateurism and dilettantism. His death marked the end of an era.
