- More about How the Country House Became English
Country houses in England have evolved to represent national values of continuity and insularity, but their histories have featured episodes of violence and disruption. This book explores how the political events of the eighteenth century recast them as symbols of England's political stability.
Format: Hardback
Length: 368 pages
Publication date: 01 July 2023
Publisher: Reaktion Books
Country houses have become synonymous with quintessential Englishness, not only in terms of their architectural style but also in terms of the values they embody. However, the histories of country houses and England have been marked by episodes of violence and disruption, leading to the question of how they came to represent a particular version of English history while in reality reflecting the full range of contradictions and complexities. This book delves into the evolution of the country house, tracing its origins back to the tumultuous impact of the Reformation and Civil War and exploring how the political events of the eighteenth century, culminating in the reaction against the French Revolution, transformed country houses into symbols of England's political stability.
