Country houses and the British empire, 1700-1930 assesses the
economic and cultural links between country houses and the Empire
between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. Using sources from
over fifty British and Irish archives, it enables readers to better
understand the impact of the empire upon the British metropolis by
showing both the geographical variations and its different cultural
manifestations. Barczewski offers a rare scholarly analysis of the
history of country houses that goes beyond an architectural or
biographical study, and recognises their importance as the physical
embodiments of imperial wealth and reflectors of imperial cultural
influences. In so doing, she restores them to their true place of
centrality in British culture over the last three centuries, and
provides fresh insights into the role of the Empire in the British
metropolis. -- .
