Krátky popis
The fascinating story of the evolution of the country house in
Britain, from its Roman precursors to the presentThe Story of the
Country House is an authoritative and vivid account of the British
country house, exploring how they have evolved with the changing
political and economic landscape. Clive Aslet reveals the
captivating stories behind individual houses, their architects, and
occupants, and paints a vivid picture of the wider context in which
the country house in Britain flourished and subsequently fell into
decline before enjoying a renaissance in the twenty-first century.
The genesis, style, and purpose of architectural masterpieces such
as Hardwick Hall, Hatfield House, and Chatsworth are explored,
alongside the numerous country houses lost to war and economic
decline.We also meet a cavalcade of characters, owners with all
their dynastic obsessions and diverse sources of wealth, and
architects such as Inigo Jones, Sir John Vanbrugh, Robert Adam, Sir
John Soane and A.W.N. Pugin, who dazzled or in some cases outraged
their contemporaries. The Story of the Country House takes a fresh
look at this enduringly popular building type, exploring why it
continues to hold such fascination for us today.
