"A distinct and fresh approach to Pugin, making a valuable contribution."
Dr Timothy Brittain-Catlin, University of Cambridge

‘As a contribution to Historic England’s new Victorian Architects series, it is just what it should be: a compact overview of Pugin’s works and the man and ideas behind them... This succinct account gives an excellent up-to-date entry into the oeuvre of an architect whose high ideals still inspire us today.’ Jacqueline Banerjee, Cercles

‘Lewis writes succinctly and fluently, laying emphasis on Pugin’s declared ambitions for an architectural style that would promote Christian community in an increasingly inhumane society… this is an excellent overview, dealing with the whole interconnected scene that Pugin presided over. It is a book that will stimulate its readers to get out onto the Pugin trail and experience the pleasure and power of his buildings with a heightened understanding. Very satisfying.’ Graham Perry, Present State: The Newsletter of the Pugin Society
