This publication investigates how, where, when and why the
Neo-Georgian has been represented over the course of the last
century. It assesses its impact as a broader cultural phenomenon
through a consideration of its buildings, objects, institutions,
and actors. It contends that this was not another dying gasp of
Revivalism restricted to 1920s Britain but a complex assertion of
national image and identity with its origins before and its
influence extending beyond this 'lost' decade, well into the
post-WWII period. Different ideologies have been attached to the
Neo-Georgian at different times and places, particularly notions of
home, nation, gender and class. The papers explore the
construction, reception and historiography of `the Georgian'
throughout the late nineteenth and twentieth century - and most
particularly its relationship to modernism - through discussion of
a range of building types, planning (including the new concept of
Civic Design) and design generally. The expansion of the public
sector in the twentieth century saw Neo-Georgian embraced for a
wide variety of buildings and sites. Re-interpretations and
adaptations of the Georgian have been a constant theme over the
past century and constitute a powerful and enduring strand in
Anglophile culture across the globe. The papers consider
interpretations of the Neo-Georgian not only in England but in
places as diverse as New Zealand and America.
