«Roman Mornings» is James Lees-Milne's essay on architecture, published by HarperCollins Publishers Ltd in paperback (148 pages, in English).
Eight essays devoted to as many Roman buildings, from Hadrian's Pantheon to the Trevi Fountain, trace the evolution of Rome's architecture. Lees-Milne analyses each monument as an archetype of its era —paleochristian, Romanesque, Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo— and explains its influence on Western art.
Winner of the W.H. Heinemann Award in 1956; this edition was published in 1988.
Recommended for lovers of architecture and Rome, for general readers as well as those already familiar with the buildings described.
George James Henry Lees-Milne was an English writer and expert on country houses, who worked for the National Trust from 1936 to 1973. He was an architectural historian, novelist and biographer. His extensive diaries remain in print.
