Book Description
The work of Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944) includes the Cenotaph in Whitehall, much of Imperial New Delhi and especially his masterpiece, Viceroy's House (now Rashtrapati Bhavan), Queen Mary's dolls' house and Hampstead Garden Suburb. But his greatest heritage is the traditional Edwardian country house, an architectural style he made his own, using local materials and often working with Gertrude Jekyll who planted the gardens for his family homes. This is a full biography of a witty, complex personality, a man who had little formal education, who loved jokes and hated growing up. It is also a portrait of an extraordinary marriage. His wife, Emily, fell in love with Krishnamurti, 21 years her junior and believed to be the reincarnation of a god, and she thereafter spent her time and her husband's money promoting Theosophy, a Hindu-inspired cult. Lutyens's failure to find a common language with Emily possibly drove him to achieve the remarkable communication through the language of architecture which characterises his best work.

Book Description
The studies in this volume offer the first serious examination of Sir Edwin Lutyens's hugely significant work beyond Great Britain. With the exception of New Delhi, far less attention has been paid to Lutyens's work abroad than to his work at home. Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944) made his name by designing romantic vernacular weekend houses at home in southern England: however, he also responded to opportunities offered by Britain's Imperial ambitions abroad. The studies in this volume offer the first serious examination of Sir Edwin Lutyens's hugely significant work beyond Great Britain. With the exception of New Delhi, far less attention has been paid to Lutyens's work abroad than to his work at home - some buildings, indeed, being almost unknown - although it is arguable that his finest creations, works of transcendent humanity and originality within the Western tradition, are to be found along the former battlefields of the Western Front and the hot plains of India.
