The intellectual culture of the English country house is a
ground-breaking collection of essays by leading and emerging
scholars, which uncovers the vibrant intellectual life of early
modern provincial England. The essays in the volume explore
architectural planning; libraries and book collecting; landscape
gardening; interior design; the history of science and scientific
experimentation; and the collection of portraits and paintings. The
essays demonstrate the significance of the English country house
(e.g. Knole House, Castle Howard, Penshurst Place) and its place
within larger local cultures that it helped to create and shape.
They provide a substantial overview of the country house culture of
early modern England and the complicated relationship between the
provinces and the national, the country and the city, in a period
of rapid social, intellectual and economic transformation. It will
appeal to anyone interested in the culture of the country house and
its place in early modern England. -- .
