Description

Discover the life of a nineteenth-century polymath with this award-winning biography. Robert Willis (1800-1875) is recognized as the founding father of architectural history, and this book provides the first full-scale look at his remarkable career. As the Jacksonian Professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy at the University of Cambridge, Willis was a leader in the study of mechanism and an influential educator at the Royal School of Mines in London. This work explores his dual identity as both a dedicated scientist and a passionate historian. In the scientific realm, he was an inventor, an experimentalist, and an educational innovator. Beyond his official academic duties, he dedicated his time to pioneering the field of architectural history. This book, which won the 2016 Cambridge Association for Local History book award, offers a deep look into the history of the University of Cambridge through the lens of one of its most versatile figures.
