This ground breaking book (which won the coveted Sir Banister Fletcher Award for Best Book of the Year in 1992) outlines Freemasonry's influence on modern American and European aesthetics. It has been recognised as one of the most important and original contributions towards a greater understanding of Western art, and will be invaluable to architectural and art historians, and to anyone interested in the complex esoteric ideas and iconographies that evolved during the Enlightenment.
