Pugin was one of Britain's greatest architects and his short career one of the most dramatic in architectural history. Born in 1812, the son of the soi-disant Comte de Pugin, at 15 Pugin was working for King George IV at Windsor Castle. By the time he was 21 he had been shipwrecked, bankrupted and widowed. Nineteen years later he died, insane and disillusioned, having changed the face and the mind of British architecture. God's Architect is the first full modern biography of this extraordinary figure. It draws on thousands of unpublished letters and drawings to recreate his life and work as architect, propagandist and romantic artist as well as the turbulent story of his three marriages, the bitterness of his last years and his sudden death at 40. It is the debut of a remarkable historian and biographer.… (més)

I found Pugin rather annoying at first but found him more likeable as time went on. Still it seems amazing to me that someone would convert to Catholicism simply because they liked Gothic architecture and had never heard of the Renaissance. ( )

Even the loose stones that cover the high-way,

I gave a mortal life, I saw them feel,

Or linked them to some feeling: the great mass

Lay bedded in a quickening soul, and all

That I beheld respired with inward meaning.

William Wordsworth, The Prelude, Book III, 11. 125-9

Travelling through England on a train, or flying into London, low along the Thames and over the suburbs, the landscape is still, to a great extent, made up of little pitch-roofed houses and gardens. (Introduction)
In the 1820s, when Auguste Pugin ran a drawing school, he liked to amuse his teenaged pupils, and no doubt himself, with stories of his early life, his aristocratic connections and his hair's-breadth escape from the French Revolution. (Chapter 1)
