The Georgian Country House: Architecture, Landscape and Society

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The country house was a focal point of Georgian architecture, landscape, and society. This well illustrated book takes this distinctive architectural form and uses it as a fulcrum for an exploration of the cultural map of the period. A full discussion of the architecture and planning of the country house is followed by an exploration of the literature on the country house, including both contemporary guidebooks and the writings of authors such as Jane Austen; how the house worked as a social and economic unit, and the landscaping of the country house.
