John Nash - architect, town-planner, landscape designer, bridge-builder, engineer and entrepreneur - was born in 1752 and died in 1835, outliving his principal patron, King George IV, by five years. After a disheartening start, he went on to become the most successful and fashionable architect of his time.

This fully illustrated survey of Nash's work includes all of his known and attributed works. The lively introduction, written by the distinguished architectural historian Sir John Summerson, gives a startlingly perceptive portrait of this imaginative and influential architect.

'Nash's most impressive legacy must surely be that he is one of the few architects that everyone can name. For Nash stands at the very heart of the English aesthetic experience: in a sense, his grip has never loosened…[the book's] succinct entries for 286 attributed or attributable designs, effective photography, and the author's exemplary plan drawings provide an invaluable source of reference for those who might confuse their Cumberland Terrace with their Chester Gate…[it] provides every type of reader with a first-rate introduction to its subject.'

'Beautifully illustrated.' (Country Landowner)

'The definitive guide.' (Period Ideas for Your Home)
