The church in Lupton St., London NW

is described in N. Pevsner,
London, Except the Cities of London and Westminster
(Harmondsworth, 1952). The information on Pevsner’s teacher Wilhelm Pinder is from a paper by Marlite Halbertsma, published in
Apollo
, September 1992. Pevsner’s ideas on English modernism are in his
An Outline of European Architecture
(London, 1943). Another important work by Pevsner on the same topic is
Pioneers of the Modern Movement from William Morris to Walter Gropius
(London, 1936). He later reissued the same book with minor variations as
Pioneers of Modern Design, From William Morris to Walter Gropius
(Harmondsworth, 1964). The result of Pevsner’s investigation into English design was
An Enquiry into Industrial Art in England
(Cambridge, 1937). His ideas on the picturesque in English art and gardens are developed in
Studies in Art, Architecture and Design
(London, 1968). The work in England of other refugees is discussed in Charlotte Benton,
A Different World:Émigré Architects in Britain, 1928–1958
(London, 1995). Arthur Koestler’s famous phrase about England being the Davos for European exiles is from his
The Invisible Writing
(London, 1959). Steen Eiler Rasmussen’s
London, the Unique City
was published in London in 1937. Hayek’s ideas on Englishness are in
Hayek on Hayek
(London, 1994); and
The Road to Serfdom
was published in London in 1943. Auden’s remark about English temptations is quoted in Humphrey Carpenter,
W. H. Auden, a Biography
(Boston, 1981). Pevsner’s Englishness is analyzed by Colin MacInnes in
The Twentieth Century
(vol. 160, 1960). Pevsner’s own
The Englishness of English Art
was first published in London in 1956. David Watkin’s criticisms of Pevsner formed a major part of his
Morality and Architecture
(Oxford, 1977). John Harris’s attack on Pevsner’s “Prussian” attitudes was published in
Apollo
, December 1991.

IBLIOGRAPHY

For those who wish to delve further into the rich literature of Anglomania, I have compiled a list of books about Britain written by Europeans, mostly in French, English, or German, during the last three centuries until World War II. It is by no means exhaustive, but it narrows the Anglophilic field down considerably, since it does not include anything written by non-Europeans. American or Indian Anglophilia would provide enough material for at least one more book. I have not included books already mentioned in my source notes. Nor, for obvious reasons of space, have I included books on British history, politics, or literature. These are all firsthand accounts, mostly of travels. As some of the titles show, not all the books are wholly admiring of Britain or its inhabitants.
