The author provides a fascinating grounding in some of the most prominent buildings of Soane's time, shedding light on one man's view of the world - his personal quests and architectural visions (for example, his design of the Bank of England). You get a strong flavour of an eclectic collector whose treasures animated and inspired important new projects. These are particularly evident in the reproductions of coloured drawings by Joseph Gandy, rich expressions of a fantastical and playful imagination.
