About This Item
The Bodley Head Ltd (London), 1984. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good+. 10x7x1. 1984 First (U.K.) Edition hardcover with dust jacket. Well-preserved copy is bright and clean inside and out! Minimal shelf wear to jacket, with no tears or creases. Nice copy! 240 pages, includes index, photo-illustrated throughout. "The social revolution after the Second World War did not sweep away the traditional upper class [in Britain]. In the country, it continues to play its role and its houses continue as the setting for local events. With wit and insight, the author traces the changing domestic background of the post-war years -- including the 'abolition of the green-baize door and the promotion of the kitchen to main-room status' -- and tells the inside story of some of the most significant collaborations between owner and architect. He also includes a gazetteer of the important post-war country houses built in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.
