Great Houses Of London
£25.60
The great houses of London represent one of the marvels of English architecture & yet they are almost entirely unknown. They are for the most part disguised behind sober facades but their riches within are astonishing. This book will range from the romantic 17th century Ashburnham House nestling in the shadow of Westminster Abbey through the splendid 18th century aristocratic palaces of the West End to the curious & quirky arts & crafts houses of Holland Park & Kensington to the cool modernist houses of Hampstead & the exuberant post-modern interiors of the last thirty years. Every house has its own story to tell. This might be the colourful history of the occupants (such as the Duke of Wellington entertaining ladies at Apsley House) the great art collections they held (the Titians at Bridgewater House or Sam Courtauld's Impressionist paintings at Home House) or the architectural wonders of William Kent's 44 Berkeley Square & Burges's Tower House in Melbury Road. The book promises to be a great revelation. ...

Great Hunger
£8.96
The Irish potato famine of the 1840s perhaps the most appalling event of the Victorian era killed over a million people & drove as many more to emigrate to America. It may not have been the result of deliberate government policy yet British obtuseness short-sightedness & ignorance
- & stubborn commitment to laissez-faire solutions
- largely caused the disaster & prevented any serious efforts to relieve suffering. The continuing impact on Anglo-Irish relations was incalculable the immediate human cost almost inconceivable. In this vivid & disturbing book Cecil Woodham-Smith provides the definitive account. A moving & terrible book. It combines great literary power with great learning. It explains much in modern Ireland
- & in modern America
- D.W. Brogan.
