John Nash - architect, town-planner, landscape designer, bridge-builder, engineer and entrepreneur - was born in 1752 and died in 1835, outliving his principal patron, George IV, by five years. After a disheartening start, he made a remarkable recovery and went on to become the most successful and fashionable architect of his time. This fully illustrated survey of Nash&8217;s work includes all of his known and attributed works. The lively introduction, written by the distinguished architectural historian Sir John Summerson, gives a perceptive portrait of this imaginative and influential architect.
