Pevsner observes that the building's chastity and bareness must have seemed as foreign to contemporary beholders, used to the entertaining elaborations of Elizabethan and Jacobean architecture, as Modernism was to the Edwardians. Scot Lucas's recent study of the figure of the Edwardian Duke of Somerset -- his great rise and fall -- as backdrop for one of the monologues illustrates both the realism and the cosmic framing Edwardians, Marians, and early Elizabethans saw as the framing of human existence.
