This is a biography of writer, architect, aesthete and editor Geoffrey Scott (1884-1929). His Architecture of Humanism was considered the most important statement about architecture since Ruskin, and was used as a basic text in architectural schools for many years. The Portrait of Zelide won the James Tait Memorial Black Prize. Scott was also a prominent figure in social and intellectual circles in London, Florence and New York. A protege of Bernard and Mary Berenson, he spent many years living and working at the art historian's villa outside Florence.
