A Short History of Renaissance Architecture in England, 1500-1800 (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
In preparing this abridgment of my larger history I have endeavoured to supply the architectural student with a concise account of Renaissance architecture in England from 1500 to 1800. Extensive knowledge of detail is, in my opinion, of less importance to the student than a clear grasp of the historical development of this movement. When he has mastered its general drift and the actual causes which determined its modifications, his own observation will supply examples, which will fall naturally into their historical place. I have accordingly retained only such instances as appear to me to have an immediate bearing on the subject; and for fuller information as to facts and authorities and for some account of the architectural literature of the period, I must refer the student to my larger history. I have added plates of Palladio sorders, taken from Freart sP arallel, on account of their great technical importance in the architecture of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In order to avoid that overloading of detail which seems to me a dangerous snare in the students path, I have not dealt with controversial points. The conclusions here set out are the results of my personal investigations. It is fair, however, to point out, that in one or two instances the conclusions at which I have arrived differ from those of other writers of authority on the subject. Mr.
