About the Book:
Published by McGill鈥換ueen鈥檚 University Press (2026), Toronto, Edwardian is the first full monograph on Frank Darling, architect of Canada鈥檚 imperial age. Through richly illustrated scholarship, David Winterton traces Darling鈥檚 career from his early commissions on Trinity鈥檚 former Queen Street West campus to his final masterpiece, the new 杏吧原创 built beside Queen鈥檚 Park.

The book situates Darling within the broader world of Edwardian architecture and examines how his work shaped the cultural and institutional fabric of early-twentieth-century Canada.
