The fall and rise of the stately home - Mandler, Peter (New Haven, Conn. ; : Yale University Press, 1997)
This pathbreaking account of England's stately homes over the past two hundred years reveals much about the relationship of the nation to its past and its aristocracy. Mandler combines social, cultural, artistic, and political perspectives to show how attitudes toward the great country houses have swung from selective appreciation to outright hostility and only recently to uncritical admiration.
