Product Description
No architect has ever had a closer relationship with a magazine than Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944) did with Country Life. Edward Hudson, the founder of Country Life, did all he could to promote the work of a man he admired without reservation, commissioning Lutyens to design the magazine's offices in Covent Garden in 1904, as well as three country houses for himself. Country Life published articles about virtually all Lutyens's buildings shortly after their completion, recording them as the architect intended, creating the unparalleled visual archive on which this book is based. Gavin Stamp's selection of 22 houses represents all the phases of Lutyens's career. Here are superb examples of his Surrey-vernacular style, such as Fulbrook House - one of his earliest masterpieces; early Arts and Crafts houses, such as Goddards and Little Thakeham; his carefully composed Classical houses, such as Heathcote; and his grandest country house of all, Middleton Park. Here, too, are examples of his brilliant enlargements and alterations to existing buildings, such as Lindisfarne Castle, and his creation of the epitome of castle style: Castle Drogo. Finally, Lutyens's most famous creation: Viceroy's House in New Delhi, one of the greatest buildings in the world.
The 200 duotone photographs, combined with Gavin Stamp's authoritative and illuminating essay, provide a unique survey of one of Britain's foremost architects.
Gavin Stamp is an architectural historian and writer. He is Senior Lecturer at the Mackintosh School of Architecture, Glasgow School of Art. His books include The Changing Metropolis: Earliest Photographs of London 1839-1879, The English House 1860-1914, and Alexander 'Greek' Thomson.
