Elizabethan Architecture Its Rise and Fall, 1540–1640 Mark Girouard Elizabethan and Jacobean architecture—not the friendly, unassuming architecture of the vernacular but the uniquely strange and exciting buildings put up by the great and powerful, ranging from huge houses to gem-like pavilions and lodges designed for feasting and hunting—is a phenomenon as remarkable as the literature which accompanied it, the literature of Shakespeare, Spenser, Sidney, Marlow, Jonson, Campion and others. In this beautiful and fascinating book, Girouard discusses social structure and the way of life behind it, the evolution of the house plan, the excitement of English patrons and craftsmen as they learnt about the classic Five Orders and the buildings of Ancient Rome, the Mark Girouard is the leading historian surprising wealth of architectural drawings which survive from the of Elizabethan and Jacobean period, the inroads of foreign craftsmen who brought new fashions in architecture. His books published by ornament, but also the strength of the native tradition which was Yale include Life in the English creatively integrated with the ‘antique’ style. Behind the book is a vivid Country House, Town and Country, The Victorian Country House and consciousness of the European scene: Italy, France, central Europe and The English Town, among many others. above all the Low Countries and their influence on England. But the principal argument of the book is the unique individuality of the English achievement. The result of new research and fieldwork, as well as a lifetime’s observation and scholarship, this remarkable book displays Girouard’s unique sense of style and his enduring excitement for the architecture June of the period. 400 pp. 295x248mm. 200 b/w + 350 colour illus.

On the one hand, Eagleton demolishes what he calls the ‘superstitious’ view of God held by most atheists and agnostics, and offers in its place a revolutionary account of the Christian Gospel. On the other hand, he launches a stinging assault on the betrayal of this revolution by institutional Christianity. There is little joy here, then, either for the anti-God brigade—Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens in particular—nor for many Terry Eagleton is Bailrigg Professor of conventional believers.
