A Companion Guide to Architecture in Ireland, 1837-1921.
Author: WILLIAMS, Jeremy.
Dublin: Irish Academic Press, 1994. xx, 424 pages. Illustrated. Hardback.
“This book, the first of its kind, is a panoramic study of Ireland’s architecture of the post-Georgian period in which Jeremy Williams traces the development of individual Irish architects and the work of their British counterparts in Ireland.
A gazetteer by county—from Antrim to Wicklow—the book also contains valuable indexes which lead the reader to artists, craftworkers, builders, and patrons as well as architects, great and small.
This book will, no doubt, become a standard reference work and a force for conservation; but it will also be used by the traveller and armchair reader as a guide to town or country, enhancing their appreciation of the architectural heritage from the period.
‘Jeremy Williams has shown me how much more there is to see—and also made me want to see it—-for he has the gift of the best gazetteers of both providing compulsive browsing, and also making the buildings which he describes seem desirable . . . He enjoys finding out about people as well as buildings as he pursues his way, savouring everything from pubs to palaces in this illuminating and enjoyable book’ –Mark Girouard in the foreword.
Jeremy Williams, an architect based in Dublin, has a special interest in architectural history Many of the illustrations in this book are from his own pen.”
