Turrets, Towers, and Temples — Esther Singleton, 1904 Antique

Turrets, Towers, and Temples: The Great Buildings of the World, As Seen and Described by Famous Writers, edited and translated by Esther Singleton in 1904, continues her distinctive series of literary anthologies that used the words of celebrated authors to explore a single unifying theme. This volume gathers observations on the world's great architectural landmarks — turrets, towers, temples, and monuments across cultures and centuries, as described through the eyes of notable writers.

This is a companion volume to Singleton's other "Famous Writers" anthologies, including Historic Buildings, Great Pictures, and Famous Women As Described by Famous Writers, together forming a genuinely cohesive collectible series from this prolific early 20th century editor and translator.
