Sir John Soane (1753-1837) adapted and modernised the language of classical architecture. The range of his built designs, from the ingenuity of his own house in Lincolns Inn Fields to the opulence and originality of the Bank of England, places him on a par with other leading European Neoclassicists, such as Ledoux and Schinkel. His architectural vocabulary remains influential to this day.

This landmark publication considers Soane's architectural achievements as well as his life and public role. It reproduces over one hundred of Soane's drawings and contains specially commissioned photographs of his original models and existing buildings. Contributors discuss all of the architects major commissions, including the Dulwich Picture Gallery, the Law Courts at Westminster, and the Bank of England.
