Building Jerusalem: The Rise and Fall of the Victorian City Hunt's is above all a tale of merchant princes in Manchester and Liverpool, in Glasgow, Leeds, and Birmingham (that city's mayor, Joseph Chamberlain, is the dominant personality in the book), who built not only roads and sewers but galleries, libraries, and some of the greatest edifices and public spaces of nineteenth-century urban civilization -- Bradford's Venetian Gothic Wool Exchange; Liverpool's Albert Dock and St. George's Hall (which the architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner praised as among the greatest neo-Grecian buildings in the world); Birmingham's broad boulevards, stately squares, and grand domed council house; and Manchester's palazzo-inspired warehouses and magnificent neo-Gothic town hall.	books building toread victorian	hexmode	02/21/2006 17:58

What is GotNoBlog?

GotNoBlog.com is a place to organize and share website links.

Unlike bookmarks you add in your browser, your links added to GotNoBlog are available everywhere you go: at home, at work, at the library, anywhere there's a web browser.

They are completely searchable, so go ahead and add thousands of links. You'll be able to find it later, lickety-split.

Since bookmarks added here are public, others can browse the links you've found to discover something new. Add your own commentary to a link for a personal touch. No blog necessary.

To begin, all you need to do is register for an account. If you already have an account, log in now.
