Rezensionen

John Cooper's engrossing and delightful study recovers for us an extraordinary building hidden in plain sight within the footprint of the Houses of Parliament: medieval England's answer to Paris's spectacular Sainte Chapelle, transformed by the Tudors into the arena in which our modern Parliamentary state gradually took shape. Cooper brings to life its lost splendours, and guides us through what remains from its fiery destruction, with scholarship and wit.
