Cockerell, Robert Smirke, William Wilkins, Thomas Hopper, Humphry Repton and Sir John Soane - as well as regional designers such as Dobson of Newcastle and Webster of Kendal. Important architectural themes of the Regency, the development of the Graeco-Roman style associated originally with the Wyatts, the Gothic Revival, the Picturesque and the cottage orne, and the role of Thomas Hope are also examined ..."--Book jacket.
