Erstausgabe
Girouard, Mark, 1931-. A country house companion. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1987, with 1st printing number line, 192pp., very good dust-jacket, very good green cloth, illustrations in black and white throughout, with some sections in color. For five centuries, the magnificent country houses of the English ruling classes were the settings for their pleasure and politics, tangible expressions of their authority and confidence. With the decline of the country house in the mid-twentieth century, many aspects of this way of life unique to England have disappeared forever. Now Mark Girouard, author of the bestselling Life in the English Country House, recreates this era, compiling an anthology of personal anecdotes and reminiscences about these country houses by people who lived in them, worked in them, or visited them - from queens to kitchen maids. The anthology, organized thematically according to guests, parties, royal visits, servants, and so on, is woven together by brief headnotes and an introductory piece written by Girouard. Its basis is the massive archive of country-house material accumulated by Girouard over thirty years, much of it from unpublished sources. Chosen from letters, diaries, books, recipes, and other fascinating contemporary sources, the voices gathered here speak to us directly across the centuries, evoking the past as no history book can ever do, giving us accounts of birth, death, elopement, gossip, scandal, and all the time-consuming rituals of eating, drinking, and amusement that filled the hours. 9780300040838 ISBN 0300040830.
