| 520 | |a "Politics has always been at the heart of the English country house: in its design and construction, as well as in the activities and experiences of those who lived in and visited these places. Thus, as Britain moved from an agrarian to an imperial economy over the course of the eighteenth century, the home mirrored the social change experienced in the public sphere. This collection focuses on the relationship between the country house and the mutable nature of British politics in the eighteenth century. Essays explore the country house as a stage for politicking, a vehicle for political advancement, a symbol of party allegiance or political values, and a setting for appropriate lifestyles. Initially the exclusive purview of the landed aristocracy, politics increasingly came to be played out in the open, augmented by the emergence of career politicians--usually untitled members of the patriciate--and men of new money, much of it created on Caribbean plantations or in the employ of the East India Company. Politics and the English Country House, 1688-1800 reveals how, during this period of profound change, the country house remained a constant. The country house was the definitive tangible manifestation of social standing and, for the political class, owning one became almost an imperative. In its consideration of the country house as lived and spatial experience, an aesthetic and symbolic object, and an economic engine, this book offers a new perspective on the complexity of political meaning embedded in the eighteenth-century country house--and on ourselves as active recipients and interpreters of its various narratives, more than two centuries later."-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
