Edwin Lutyens Country House: From the Archives of Country Life

Edwin Lutyens was perhaps the greatest British architect of the twentieth century, and such was his close relationship with Country Life that he even designed the magazine's Covent Garden offices. In this book Gavin Stamp, one of our finest writers on architectural history, selects 22 houses from all phases of Lutyens' career, from an early Arts & Crafts house like Goddards to his grandest house of all, Middleton Park. But he also covers Lindisfarne Castle and Castle Drogo, as well as Lutyens' most famous creation, the Viceroy's House in New Delhi. Stamp's erudite text complements a truly remarkable collection of photographs.
