In his first prose work, Ghastly Good Taste (1933), he vigorously defends his love of Victorian and Edwardian architecture, considered deeply unfashionable at the time. With the savage humour of his famous satire 'Slough', he attacks notions of Modernism and (at the other extreme) unthinking antiquarianism. In this the revised and annotated edition the rise and fall of English architecture is illustrated with a specially drawn fold out nine foot long panorama of architectural styles. Ref SS6.
