	Nikolaus Pevsner
		Pevsner's academic career in Göttingen ended by the rise of the Nazis and in 1934 he settled in London.
		Pevsner traced in it the evolution of the 20th-century architecture from several sources - from William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement, Art Noveau, and the Victorian engineering and architecture, to Gropius and his Bauhaus colleagues who radically broke with the past.
		Pevsner dismisses the suggestion that Suger (1081-1151), Abbot of St. Denis, was the designer of St. Denis - he was not an architect and did not have special knowledge of construction work.

	Nikolaus Pevsner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pevsner conceived and edited the Pelican History of Art series (1953–), many individual volumes of which are regarded as classics.
		After moving to England, Pevsner found that the study of architectural history had little status in academic circles, and the amount of information available, especially to travellers wanting to inform themselves about the architecture of a particular district, was limited.
		Pevsner wrote 32 of the books himself and 10 with collaborators, and work on the series continued after his death.

		Pevsner was careful, however, not to talk about politics in public, and in the years after World War II he made the successful transition from an immigrant with a suspect past to a beloved national figure.
		Pevsner recognized that the role of art history, in addition to being a serious subject of its own, was to “uplift” and to serve as “background” and a “parallel to history and modern languages” (161).
		Pevsner's writings are indeed the outcome of, as we would say today, an “inquiring mind,” one neither “compartmentalized” nor limited by the obligations of disciplinarity.

	Observer \| Pevsner a Nazi? Don't be so ridiculous
		One of the glories of Pevsner's nomenclature was that, because it was so comprehensive and subtle - and because, despite the appearance of austerity, he found it hard to resist the urge for the personal and polemical - it never felt reductive.
		For those amateurs who, like me, came to Pevsner as an historical monument himself, and have used him to help illuminate and explain some of the eccentricities and conundrums of English architecture, it is enlightening to hear at first hand the voice that informed all those fine gradations of taste.
		But if it was Pevsner's fellow refugee Ernst Gombrich who gave the British the tools to be art historians, it was Pevsner who disseminated the story of art to the man in the street (and particularly the man intent on gazing up at the skyline).

	AN OUTLINE OF EUROPEAN ARCHITECTURE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Pevsner does not dwell on the earliest civilizations as he had said he would not and is brief with the Roman style comparing the differences to that of the Greeks.
		Pevsner says of this new style of architecture, ‘a breadth and freedom were introduced in distinct contrast to Roman gravity’, this shows how architects were in a way breaking free from the rules and formal styles adopted in previous periods.
		Pevsner mentions the Stockholm crematorium (see figure 5) as being an important example since it provided awe and comfort, Pevsner also says of it, ‘never before in the twentieth century had architecture and landscape been blended so perfectly’ and so it would seem that this building was one of Pevsner’s personal favourites.

		This Pevsner is attractive and conversational, neither the master of the brisk overview who gave us a single volume on all of European architecture, nor the tireless, relentless cataloguer of Britain’s buildings in the Pevsner guides, nor the over-eager prophet of modern design.
		And this is a terrible thing, because Nikolaus Pevsner left Germany in 1933, put out of work by the Nazi racial laws; he dismissed Mein Kampf as crude propaganda; he adored the modernism that Hitler tried to smash; and he venerated the architect Walter Gropius, who was forced into exile by the Nazis.
		Pevsner was born a Jew, with quite enough Jewish grandparents to qualify him for extermination.

		Pevsner's successor is Bridget Cherry, Buildings of England series editor, who started out as his research assistant in 1968.
		Pevsner, she thinks, had one great advantage as a chronicler of England's buildings - he was a foreigner.
		Along with his particular notion of the history of art, Pevsner brought with him one overarching idea that is now outmoded: the concept of buildings as chilly artworks, rather than peopled, functioning places.

	About the Series (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Nikolaus Pevsner, an art historian of European standing, conceived the idea of English architectural guidebooks after he settled in England in the 1930s.
		Pevsner was unable to devote much more than a month to visiting each county and the speed at which the books were prepared inevitably led to errors and omissions.
		Over two days speakers explored Pevsner's early life and career, the art-historical background which moulded his writing, the attitudes to architectural writing and topography current in England when the series started, Pevsner's involvement with both the study and preservation of Victorian architecture, and his influence on and relevance for later writing.

		Castles and tower-houses and a string of Hanoverian forts contrast with prehistoric farmsteads and Georgian and Victorian farmhouses.
		Continually revised, expanded, and updated, the superbly illustrated Pevsner Architectural Guides provide an extensive introduction to the architecture of the county concerned; a gazetteer of buildings of interest with accompanying maps, ground-plans, and diagrams; and a generous section of illustrations.

		Pevsner was a brilliant art history student at Leipzig University in the early 1920s but what particularly attracted him to the subject was the personality of his teacher, Wilhelm Pinder.

		True, some of the commercial structures in the downtown area were designed by professional architects, but compared to the buildings Pevsner presented to his readers, they would hardly rank as high style.

	Apollo: Reassessing Nikolaus Pevsner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The theme that, perhaps unintentionally, binds the whole book together is Pevsner's addiction to the Zeitgeist, the 'spirit of the age', and with it his absorbing interest in national character and in particular 'Englishness'.
		She makes the point that he promoted the subject not because he was temperamentally very keen on it but because it obviously expressed the 'spirit of the age' when Britain was the world's greatest power; because it had been neglected by historians; and because in the 1950s it was being mindlessly demolished.
		The Picturesque, the subject of Michela Rosso's contribution, was interpeted by Pevsner as the key English invention, and he did his best to reconcile it with Modernism and to apply its principles to town planning.
