Description :
A spirited history of the English country house in its golden age
For generations, the great palaces of Britain were home to living histories, noble families that had reigned for centuries. But by the end of the nineteenth century, members of elite society found themselves, for the first time, in the company of arrivistes. Their new neighbors-from chorus girls to millionaire greengrocers to guano impresarios-lacked lineage and were unencumbered by the weight of tradition.
In The Power and the Glory, historian Adrian Tinniswood reconstructs life in the country house during its golden age before the Great War, when Britain ruled over a quarter of the earth's population and its stately homes were at their most opulent. But change was on the horizon: the landed classes were being forced to grapple not only with new neighbors, but also with new social norms and expectations.
An exuberant story, The Power and the Glory offers a delicious, captivating, and often scandalous history of the British country house.
