Publisher's Synopsis
Nicholas Hawksmoor (1661-1736) began his career in the office of Sir Christopher Wren and was later associated with Sir John Vanbrugh with whom he worked at Blenheim. Much of his vision for the replanning of Oxford never developed beyond his drawings. A large corpus of these drawings still survives in the Ashmolean, Bodleian and various college archives. Schemes which are illustrated and discussed in this book include: The Queen's College; All Souls; Worcester College; the Clarendon Building and the Radcliffe Library.
