    Burlington House: Home of the Royal Academy of Arts

    Awarded the William MB Berger Prize for British Art History 2019

    “Nicholas Savage writes brilliantly, and this book is as entertaining as any novel in its account of what is an archetypal instance of a much-abused London landmark. It is rare indeed to find someone who can distil so much complex material into such limpid prose and with such wit. The book is beautifully produced with a most original sense of design and is a model of lucidity in all respects.“
