Download or read book Design and Plan in the Country House written by Andor Harvey Gomme and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The way a man thinks about his day-to-day living and the needs of his household reveals a great deal about his ambitions, his idea of himself, and his role in the community. And his house or castle offers many clues to his habits as well as those of the members of his household. This intriguing book explores the evolution of country house plans throughout Britain and Ireland, from medieval times to the eighteenth century. With photographs and detailed architectural plans of each house under discussion, the book presents a whole range of new insights into how these homes were designed and what their varied designs tell us about the lives of their residents. Starting with fortified medieval tower houses, the book traces patterns that developed and sometimes repeated in country house design over the centuries. It discusses who slept in the bedchambers, where food was prepared, how rooms were arranged for official and private activities, what towers signified, and more. Groundbreaking in its depth, the volume offers a rare tour of country houses for scholar and general reader alike.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lord of the Manor, or Lights and Shades of Country Life, Vol. 2 of 2 The baronet, family, and suite, had enjoyed themselves at Beechwood eight months, ere one glimpse of the fact reached his family in Westminster. Not one word of it, until one day, and then it crept out as 'does the first mouse after the cat's demise, just at the oddest time possible. And the place too was, perhaps, one of all others in which a metropolitan friend of the once Robert Kent, the brewery cobbler, would least expect any information as to that gentleman's rural pursuits. Honest, good-hearted Bob, he was always called by his London friends, but we are not sure whether he has enjoyed equal fortune with those round the preserves of the manor. The odd place, hinted at, was Mr. Mellow's spirited establishment - the dram-vaults: a house, it is hoped, well known to the reader, if not, our attempts at the graphic have been but poorly appreciated, or entirely misunderstood.

Download or read book Literary Representations of the Irish Country House written by M. Kelsall and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-12-10 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative new study examines the significance given to the country house in Ireland under the Union and how this is represented in the works of Edgeworth, Lever, Trollope, Martin and Somerville, Bowen and Lady Gregory. The Irish country house is set in a classical and European context as the centre for 'the good life' and the pinnacle of 'civilisation'. In Ireland, that inherited tradition was challenged by an alternative culture nominated as 'savage'. This book explores how the Irish country house was the focus of conflict between and symbiosis of 'civilisation' and 'savagery'.
