Abstract
- The article presents information about a book on architecture. "Sir Christopher Wren," by Lena Milman. In every country of Europe the renaissance in architecture, as for that matter the renaissance in literature, has a history of its own. Gothic died hard and in proportion as it was rooted in the soil, left its traces upon the new pseudo antique. In Italy and in Spain Gothic was a precarious exotic and the deracination was easy. Lives of architects which are worth writing at all are worth writing over since photography came to let the reader see upon what the claims of subjects are founded.
