Westminster Abbeyis both an appreciation of an architectural masterpiece and an exploration of the building's shifting meanings: we hear the voices of those who have described its forms, moods and ceremonies, from Shakespeare to Voltaire to Dickens and Henry James; we see how rulers have made use of it, from medieval kings to modern prime ministers. In a highly original book, classicist and cultural historian Richard Jenkyns teaches us to look at this microcosm of history with new eyes.<p>. Paperback. New.
