Early Renaissance Architecture in England: A Historical & Descriptive Account of the Tudor, Elizabethan, & Jacobean Periods, 1500-1625
EARLY RENAISSANCE ARCHITECTURE IN ENGLAND. An Historical and
Descriptive Account of the Development of English Architecture
during the Tudor, Elizabethan and Jacobean Periods, 1500-1625. By
J. ALFRED GOTCH, F.S.A., Author of "The Architecture of the
Renaissance in England," etc. With 88 Collotype and other Plates and
250 Illustrations in the Text from Drawings by various Artists, and
Special Photographs. Large 8vo, cloth gilt, 21s. net.
The scheme of the book is to take up the story of English
architecture during the reign of Henry VII., and to carry it on
to the days of Elizabeth and James I. The development of the
house-plan is illustrated by a series of examples, accompanied by
views and drawings. The culminating period of Elizabeth's reign
being reached, the various features of the houses of that time are
dealt with in turn. As regards the Exterior portion, Gateways,
Porches, Windows, Gables, Parapets, Chimneys, Finials, &c., are
all illustrated by numerous examples. Garden architecture is
also touched upon. In illustration of the treatment of Interiors
of Houses, many specimens of Panelling, Screens, Doorways,
Chimney-pieces, Ceilings, Staircases, Window-glass, etc., are
given. A chapter is devoted to John Thorpe's drawings, and to the
light which they throw upon the designing of houses of the period.
