A fascinating new account of the history of the English house, from the countrys preeminent architectural historianCruickshanks enthusiasm for Englands vernacular architecture shines through every infectious sentence of this glorious book... A triumph. The TimesA mine of information presented in an effortlessly accessible style. Unlike many books that merely convey stories attached to buildings, this is social and architectural history delivered with forensic insight Country LifeThis is the story of the superbly elegant early eighteenthcentury Pallant House in Chichester. Its the story of 19 Princelet Street in Spitalfields, built for a Huguenot silkweaver, ultimately a synagogue. Its also the story of among others a row of twoup, twodowns in Toxteth, a block of flats in Londons East End, and what Ideal Homes magazine described in 1926 as Britains first modern house in Northampton.Together these buildings reveal the ways in which English homes have developed and changed over the past few centuries. At the same time, as Dan Cruickshank shows, they have much to tell us about the lives of their first occupants their aspirations, their struggles, their place within society and relationship with their local community. The English House brilliantly weaves these two strands together, blending architectural and social history to create a series of brilliantly observed portraits of fascinating buildings.Praise for Dan CruickshankGenial, erudite and companionable . . . this...
