Description
Country Houses and the British Empire, 1700-1930 by Stephanie Barczewski explores the economic and cultural links between country houses and the British Empire between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. Using sources from over fifty British and Irish archives, Barczewski sheds new light on the impact of the empire on the British metropolis, revealing both its geographical variations and cultural manifestations. This book restores country houses to their rightful place in British culture, providing fresh insights into the role of the Empire in shaping the nation's architecture and identity.
