James Lees-Milne Libros
James Lees-Milne fue un escritor e historiador inglés, reconocido por su perspicaz obra sobre casas de campo y como uno de los diaristas más destacados del siglo XX. Sus escritos, dirigidos a un público general, abarcaban estudios arquitectónicos, biografías y una novela autobiográfica. Lees-Milne poseía un profundo conocimiento del paisaje inglés y su patrimonio arquitectónico, lo que enriqueció sus agudas observaciones. Sus diarios, en particular, ofrecen una valiosa crónica del entorno intelectual y social británico de su época, llegando a obtener un devoto seguimiento.
In eight illuminating chapters we have the history of the Eternal City-Ancient Roman, Early Christian, Romanesque, Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo-the history of the buildings themselves, and Lees-Milne's inspired description and criticism of them as architectural masterpieces.

This second volume of James Lees-Milne's masterly biography opens at a turning point in Harold Nicolson's life: he was miserable at the Evening Standard and disillusioned with Mosley's New Party but his move to Sissinghurst, where he and his wife would design one of the most beautiful gardens in England, offered a fresh start.
