"Bremner's wonderfully assured and richly illustrated Building Greater Britain is . a timely book. [He] proposes buildings as an overlooked source for the study of Edwardian angst, one which he suggests might lead us to 'ponder afresh the dilemmas of our own age." --Michael Ledger-Lomas, Jocobin "Where the Empire goes, the historians will follow. G.A. Bremner's recent book, Building Greater Britain , traces the development of a genre of architecture intended to give a common face to government institutions in the dominions and other settlements, where a visual display of British values was seen to be important."--Timothy Brittain-Catlin, Apollo Magazine "This significant gap in British architectural history has now been redressed .

Bremner's achievement is to have recovered, in its complex diversity, a major architectural movement that was global in scope. The breadth of research required to bring this off, ranging across four continents, is an achievement in itself." --Ian Lochhead, The Burlington Magazine "As G. A. Bremner sets out in his luxuriously weighty new book, Building Greater Britain , the English Baroque . was for decades close to the official architectural style of the British Empire. There is growing interest . in the architecture of high imperialism.

Much has changed . in how we view architectural history and the imperial, and Bremner's focus on the toxic masculinity swirling around the Empire and its symbolism is well justified. Building Greater Britain is . rich in detail, and absorbing." --Robert Bevan, Times Literary Supplement.
