House of fiction : from Pemberley to Brideshead, great British houses in literature and life
Richardson, Phyllis2017
Books
Fictional houses have captured readers' imaginations for centuries, from Gothic castles to Georgian stately homes to Bloomsbury townhouses and high-rise pent-houses. This book illustrates how writers have used real and imagined houses to reflect the themes of their novels; how houses become like characters themselves, embodiments of the social and historical currents of their time, and it examines the particular connections those authors may have had to each one.
