Sinossi
The Radcliffe Camera is one of the most celebrated buildings in Britain. Named for the physician John Radcliffe&;who directed a large part of his fortune to its realization at the heart of the University of Oxford in the early eighteenth century&;the circular library is instantly recognizable, its great dome rising amidst the gothic spires of the university.
           
Drawing on maps, plans, photographs, and drawings, Dr Radcliffe&;s Library tells the fascinating story of the building&;s creation over more than thirty years. Early designs for the Radcliffe Camera were drawn by the brilliant architect Nicholas Hawksmoor, who conceived the shape so recognizable today: a great rotunda topped by the University of Oxford&;s only dome. From there, it would take decades to acquire and clear the site between the University Church of St Mary&;s and the Bodleian. After Hawksmoor&;s death, the project was taken on by the Scottish architect James Gibbs who refined the design and supervised the library&;s construction.
           
Published to accompany an exhibition opening in November at the Bodleian Library, Dr Radcliffe&;s Library tells the fascinating story of the making of this architectural masterpiece.
