Summary: "The English country house has flourished over the centuries because of its ability to adapt to changes in English Society. This book is the first account of the ways in which changes in upper-class life style were reflected in the houses in which the wealthy and powerful lived. Mark Girouard traces the evolution of the country house from the Middle Ages to the world of Evelyn Waugh and P.G. Wodehouse." - From the Jacket
