Description

Both an appreciation of an architectural masterpiece and an exploration of the building’s shifting meanings, Jenkyns captures the voices of those who have described Westminster Abbey’s forms, moods, and ceremonies, from Shakespeare and Voltaire to Dickens and Henry James; we see how rulers have made used it, from kings to prime ministers.
