Historic Buildings As Seen by Famous Writers — 1903 Antique

Historic Buildings As Seen and Described by Famous Writers, edited and translated by Esther Singleton in 1903, completes a fascinating trilogy of anthologies from this prolific editor and translator. This volume gathers the observations of celebrated authors on the world's great historic architecture, blending travel writing, architectural appreciation, and literary voice into a single thoughtfully curated text.

Alongside Singleton's companion volumes Famous Women As Described by Famous Writers and Great Pictures As Seen and Described by Famous Writers, this book reflects a genuinely distinctive early 20th century approach to anthology-making — using the words of famous writers themselves to illuminate a single unifying subject.
