Summary:

"Georgian country houses. The epitome of English 'gracious living', Georgian country houses were probably the greatest achievement of 18th-century British architecture. The term Georgian may evoke the majestic yet intimate houses of the Palladian movement, but other more exotic styles were also favoured. In this book, John Harris, curator of the RIBA Drawings Collection and general editor of this series, traces the history of the country house from the first palatial residences of the landed oligarchs, late in the 17th century, to the romantic experiments of bourgeois Victorian patrons." -- Publisher.
