Description: "Inigo Jones, the first English classical architect, was famous in his own time and was the posthumous sponsor of the Palladian movement of the eighteenth century. This book, first published in 1966, reassessed Jones's life and career, cleared away the myths of attribution that surround his work, and reassigned to him projects that had disappeared from his oeuvre. Summerson's text is enhanced by a new foreword and notes by Howard Colvin, updated bibliography, and improved illustrations."--BOOK JACKET.
