William Butterfield is both a comprehensive compendium of the works of one of the most important artists of the nineteenth century and a portrait of the age in which they appeared. It addresses the emergence of a modern society, modern manners, modern institutions, and a modern pattern of government in Victorian Britain, and explores how the work of the most daring, rigorous and brilliant architect of that era ' the only one whose 60-year practice spanned the entire Victorian age ' responded to and advanced that transformation in the national life.
