Spooner is a comprehensive collection of historical accounts and artistic anecdotes written in the mid-19th century.

The author delves into topics ranging from ancient Egyptian art to the grandeur of Roman architecture, including detailed discussions on specific monuments and the artists behind them. At the start of the work, Spooner introduces various themes central to art and architecture, as he opens with a discussion of Egyptian art and the significance of ancient Thebes.
