Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a journey through the metamorphosis of the English house from the end of the 16th century to the beginning of the 19th century. After a century of refinement and innovation in the Tudor period, a change swept through the architectural landscape of the English countryside, partly due to the influence of the Italian Renaissance style. This book charts this transformation through the work of major architects Inigo Jones, John Webb, Sir Christopher Wren, and others. It offers close readings of specific buildings, from manor houses to palaces, analyzing their design and symbolic meaning. In tracing the evolution of English architectural styles, the author provides a portrait of a changing society and the relationship between the English home and the culture that shaped it. The book concludes by reflecting on the influence of this architectural revolution on subsequent generations, cementing its enduring legacy in shaping the English identity.
