In their solutions to the problems posed in the alterations and remodelling carried out on the Elizabethan house the successive Revival architects -among them Lancelot Brown, Humphry Repton and John Nash - who worked at Corsham Court made a significant contribution to English architectural history. This detailed and scholarly study of the complex period from 1749 to 1849 describes and discusses both the actual construction and the theories that governed the designs, and in so doing throws considerable light upon the inter-action of patronage and taste. In this valuable book Dr Ladd considers the increasing importance attached to Gothic Revival architectural theory and the effect on it of the dual nature of the Elizabethan-Renaissance style, and discusses the reasons for the growing eclecticism of the period under review. He then goes on to analyse the implications of Nash's…

Description:
Millstream Books, Bath, first edition, 2000. Cloth, 4to, 27 cm,. 208 pp, over 180 ills. From the blurb: "Wiltshire is a very special county for anyone interested in that refined style of classicism that we call Palladian, first introduced into England by Inigo Jones in the 17th century and strongly revived in the next. This revival coincided with the beginning of the rapid rise of the neighbouring city of Bath to the heights of fame and fashion, and it comes as no surprise that the predominant style of its buildings is Palladian. So between them Wiltshire and Bath amassed - some might even say 'hogged' - the finest range of such buildings in England. This book is intended as a guide to those buildings as well as to the many other classically-styled buildings throughout the area. While much research has gone into this study, the book is written in a straightforward, clear and non- academic manner, requiring no specialist knowledge to unlock its treasures. The book ranges widely: there…

This is a guide to the history and character of the architecture of Western Civilisation, from the 6th century B.C. to the present day. The origins of the system of architectural design that was perfected in Greece, its development under the Roman Empire, and the achievements of the Byzantine architects, are described and illustrated. Passing through Romanesque to Gothic, the contributions made by Mediaeval builders to structure and design are recorded, and then the impact of the Renaissance on architecture, and its characteristic development in the different European countries. The transplanting of Renaissance ideas to the New World is covered, and finally the origins and nature of the new Western architecture that is everywhere arising, occupy the last section of the book.

From the preface : This History of Architecture on the Comparative Method.. aims at displaying clearly the characteristic features of the architecture of each country by comparing the buildings of each period and by giving due prominence to the influences - geographical, geological, climatic, religious, social, and historical - which have contributed to the formation of particular styles and which hitherto have not been emphasised systematically in presenting the story of architectural development...The analytical and comparative method adopted enables the essentials of individual styles to be easily grasped; thus the character of Gothic is emphasised by comparison with Classic and Renaissance architecture, a similar treatment being followed throughout the book. Each style is considered under five sections, as follows: 1. Influencesl 2.…

From the blurb: "The impact of pattern books and mail-order catalogs on American architecture has long been recognised, but there has been no comprehensive assessment of the phenomenon. Houses from Books provides the first thoroughly documented and illustrated survey of the profound influence of published designs on the styles, motifs, and sources of houses in villages, small cities, and suburbs in America from 1738 to 1950. Daniel D. Reiff grounds his investigations in a solid social and historical context. He explores the people and firms who produced these books, the ways in which architects and builders used and adapted these designs, and the rise of architectural training during this period. Examining 118 books and booklets, ranging from Palladio's I Quattro Libri (1570) to Aladdin's Readi-Cut Homes (1952), Reiff discusses designs from seventy-six…
