Giới thiệu

This 1923 monograph on the life and work of Sir Christopher Wren was written by Lawrence Weaver, an English architectural writer and editor. Though this recording naturally omits the illustrations and photographs of the printed edition, the text is clear, informative, and interesting. Wren comes to life and his work is knowledgeably described by an expert in architecture. This recording omits the three appendices and the section on authorities and acknowledgments. The text refers many times to a book, Parentalia, published by Wren’s son. This is: Parentalia: Or, Memoirs Of The Family Of The Wrens… The biographies of Sir Christopher Wren and two earlier members of the Wren family are followed by four short tracts by Sir Christopher on the aesthetics and origins of architecture, and by notes on the temple of Diana at Ephesus and on the 'temple of peace' (i.e. basilica of Constantine) and temple of Mars Ultor at Rome. - Summary by david wales
