Whereas the past decades have seen a profound reconsideration of
eighteenth-century visual culture, the architecture of that century
has undergone little evaluation. Its study, unlike that of the
early modern period or the twentieth century, has continued to use
essentially the same methods and ideas over the last fifty years.
Articulating British Classicism reconsiders the traditional
historiography of British eighteenth-century architecture as it was
shaped after World War II, and brings together for the first time a
variety of new perspectives on British classicism in the period.
Drawing on current thinking about the eighteenth century from a
range of disciplines, the book examines such topics as social and
gender identities, colonialization and commercialization, notions
of the rural, urban and suburban, as well as issues of theory and
historiography. Canonical constructions of Georgian architecture
are explored, including current evaluations of the continental
intellectual background, the relationship with mid
seventeenth-century Stuart court classicism and the development of
the subject in the twentieth century.
