"The Master Builder" by Henrik Ibsen is a compelling drama that delves into themes of ambition, identity, and the pursuit of artistic perfection. Set in a small Norwegian town, the play follows the story of Halvard Solness, a successful architect who is haunted by his past and consumed by his desire for greatness. As Solness grapples with his own insecurities and fears, he becomes entangled in a web of relationships with those around him, including his wife Aline, his employee Ragnar, and the young Hilde Wangel. Through intense dialogue and psychological depth, Ibsen explores the complexities of human nature and the consequences of unchecked ambition. As the play unfolds, Solness's obsession with power and control leads to a series of tragic events that ultimately force him to confront the limitations of his own mortality. With its richly drawn characters and thought-provoking themes, "The Master Builder" remains a timeless masterpiece of world literature, celebrated for its profound insights into the human condition and its enduring relevance to contemporary audiences.

William Butterfield was the most daring, rigorous, and brilliant architect of his age, whose 60-year practice spanned the entire Victorian era, and whose major works are found from the Firth of Clyde and shores of Belfast to the hills of Dublin and the cliffs of Cardiff and Devon. This book addresses the emergence of a modern society, its expansive institutions, and its changing moral code, exploring how Butterfield responded to and advanced that transformation in the national life. It reflects the changing emphasis of Butterfield's work: first, the revival, rebuilding, and reform of the country parish; then the place of the church and the agents of social health in the burgeoning town and city; third, the quiet revolution in secondary education and college life; and finally, sites of refuge, sanctuary, repose, and remembrance. Drawing extensively on the literature and discourse of the time, each chapter discusses a societal shift and surveys Butterfield's most important architectural contributions. The chapters are followed by portfolios of photographs and extraordinary sets of coloured contract drawings of projects selected to show the originality, conviction, and variety of Butterfield's designs. Woven through the book are characterisations of the often colourful men and women who were Butterfield's patrons and associates, including Gladstone, Pusey, Nightingale, and such lesser known but equally crucial figures as Frederick Temple, 'Mother' Matilda Blanche Gibbs, the writer Charlotte Yonge, and a score of reforming vicars, from the pious William Butler to the radical eccentric Edward Monro.
