Summary "Sir Christopher Wren: Scientist, Scholar and Architect" by Lawrence Weaver is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and contributions of Sir Christopher Wren, renowned for his achievements in architecture, science, and mathematics. Weaver aims to present impressions of Wren's multifaceted life rather than a comprehensive biography, capturing the essence of a man who significantly shaped England's architectural landscape. The opening of the book introduces Wren's background, highlighting his birth into a well-regarded family and detailing his early education. It emphasizes his precociousness and diverse talents, particularly in mathematics and invention, noting that Wren developed significant ideas from a young age. Furthermore, the author discusses the importance of Wren's father as a guiding influence during his vulnerable childhood and sets the stage for Wren's eventual ascent as one of England's most important figures in both science and architecture.
