Yale University Press Pevsner Architectural Guides Yale university press pevsner architectural guides Continue Pevsner Architectural Guides are a series of guides to UK and Ireland architecture. Started in the 1940s by art historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, 46 volumes of the original Buildings of England series were published between 1951 and 1974. In the late 1970s, the series was distributed to Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The majority of English volumes had second editions, mainly by other authors. The final Scottish volume, Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire, was published in autumn 2016. This completed coverage of the UK series in the year of its 65th anniversary. The Irish series remains incomplete. The origins and methods of research After moving to the UK from his native Germany as a refugee in the 1930s, Nikolaus Pevsner found that the study of architectural history had little status in academia, and that the amount of information available, especially to travelers wishing to inform themselves about the architecture of a particular area, was limited. He conceived a project to write a series of comprehensive county guides to fix this, and received the support of Allen Lane, founder of Penguin Books, for whom he wrote his plan for European architecture. Work on the series began in 1945. Lane hired two part-time assistants as German refugee art historians who produced notes for Pevsner from published sources. Pevsner spent an academic vacation traveling the country to make personal observations and conduct local research before writing finished volumes. The first volume was published in 1951. Pevsner wrote thirty-two books himself and ten with collaborators, with four more from the original series written by others: two Gloucestershire volumes by David Weary, and two volumes by Kent's John Newman. Newman is the only author in the series who has written the volume and revised it three times. After Pevsner's death, work on the series continued, with several volumes now in their third revision, and three in their fourth edition. The contents of the book volumes are compact and designed to meet the needs of both professionals and the general reader. Each of them contains a broad introduction to the architectural history and styles of the area, and then the city outside the city - and in the case of large settlements, street by street - the expense of individual buildings. They are often grouped under the headline Perambulation, as Pevsner designed the book to be used as the reader walked through the area. Guides offer both detailed lighting of the most notable buildings and notes on lesser-known and popular buildings; all types of buildings are covered, but special attention is paid to churches and public buildings. Each volume has a central section with several dozen pages of photos, originally in black and white, although the color were presented in revised volumes published by the Yale University press office since 2003. The boundaries of each volume boundary do not follow a uniform pattern and have evolved with changes and extensions. The original goal was to preserve all boundaries that were relevant at the time of writing; in the early years of the survey these were the traditional counties of England. However, boundary changes to the London area in 1965 and the rest of England in 1974 meant that this was no longer practicable. As such there are now many options: Cumbria, for example, covers a modern non-capital county - with the exception of the Sedbergh area, which, although in present-day Cumbria is part of that, covering West Yorkshire. Conversely, the Furness area - geographically in Cumbria but traditionally in Lancashire - is included, having been omitted from the tome's predecessor, Cumberland and Westmoreland. The six volumes currently covering London are a combined 32 London boroughs plus the City of London, which are a modern greater region of Greater London rather than an earlier subdivision. The whole volume at Middlesex was an early casualty of this reshuffle, as were parts of the revised volumes covering Surrey, Essex and Kent. The upcoming Birmingham and Black Country volume covers an area limited to the modern West Midlands metropolitan area, but minus the metropolitan area of Coventry and the rural part of the metropolitan area of Solihull. They appear in a revised Warwickshire volume, despite being no longer in this county. Thus Warwickshire now follows abroad neither the traditional nor the modern county. Buildings Scotland similarly has hybrid units, with volumes such as Fife and Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire reflecting their traditional county boundaries while The Highlands and Islands fit modern counterparts. The buildings of Ireland still generally corresponded to the traditional provinces of Ireland and are blind to the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The buildings of Wales largely follow the post-1974 divisions. Volumes in the press and their editions list below volumes that are currently in print - dates in italics indicate upcoming editions. Since 1962, the guides have undergone a gradual renewal program taking into account architectural and historical scholarships and the inclusion of significant new buildings. Pevsner left virtually all the changes to others, acting as a supervisor only. In the end, he revised only two of his original editions: London 1: The Cities of London and Westminster (1962) and Cambridgeshire (1970). Both were later revised again by the other. By far the oldest fully unreleased volume is Yorkshire: The North Riding (1966). Similarly, the architecture of the Black Country is currently covered only in 1966 Warwickshire in anticipation of a new volume covering this area. Staffordshire (1974) is the only other volume currently released in its unreleased first edition. Until 1953, all volumes were published only in paperback, after which they were published in both hard and paperback. Revisiting London: 1 in 1962 was the first volume to be released in hardcover alone, and no further paperbacks were released after 1964. Until 1970 volumes wore a consistent BE reference number, with Cornwall be1. The last volume that was so surpriseded was Gloucestershire 2: Valley and Forest of Dean (BE41). ISBNs then identify each volume. Since 1983, a wider format has been introduced and all subsequent new editions have been released in this format. The volumes, revised before 1983, were reprinted in the original, smaller format (marked with an asterisk in the table below). All publications are currently published by the press service of Yale University. Where changes have been extended to more than one volume, the previous edition remains in print until the entire area is revised. Publications that have been partially supersed in this way are labeled.

  • Antiquaries in the Age of Romanticism: 1789-1851
    Antiquaries in the Age of Romanticism: 1789-1851 Rosemary Hill Queen Mary, University of London Submitted for the degree of PhD March 2011 1 I confirm that the work presented in this thesis and submitted for the degree of PhD is my own. Rosemary Hill 2 Abstract The thesis concentrates on the work of fourteen antiquaries active in the period from the French Revolution to the Great Exhibition in England, Scotland and France. I have used a combination of the antiquaries’ published works, which cover, among other subjects, architecture, topography, costume history, Shakespeare and the history of furniture, alongside their private papers to develop an account of that lived engagement with the past which characterised the romantic period. It ends with the growing professionalistion and specialisation of historical studies in the mid-nineteenth century which left little room for the self-generating, essentially romantic antiquarian enterprise. In so far as this subject has been considered at all it has been in the context of what has come to be called ‘the invention of tradition’. It is true that the romantic engagement with history as narrative led to some elaboration of the facts, while the newness of the enterprise laid it open to mistakes. I have not ignored this. The restoration of the Bayeux Tapestry, the forged tartans of the Sobieski Stuarts and the creation of Shakespeare’s Birthplace are all considered. Overall, however, I have been concerned not to debunk but as it were to ‘rebunk’, to see the antiquaries in their historical context and, as far as possible, in their own terms.
