Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. This book argues that Nathaniel Clements (1705-77) was an enlightened patron of architecture, not a practicing architect, and that he influenced upper-class residential development in Dublin and popularized a particular form of Palladian 'villa-farm' (or modest country house) partly because of who he was - a high-ranking and well-connected government official and an arbiter of fashion and taste. The two places where his architectural influence is still strongly felt today are the high-fashion enclave of Henrietta Street, Dublin, of which he created about one-third in the period 1733-c.1740, and the Phoenix Park, of which he was Ranger, where he made important improvements to the landscape and where he built in 1752-57 a new Ranger's Lodge which forms the nucleus of today's Aras an Uachtarain, the official residence of the President of Ireland. The book provides a detailed analysis of these aesthetic achievements and (following Clements' death) of the re-casting of the Ranger's Lodge as a British viceregal residence during the period 1782-c.1800.It concludes with a broader discussion of the 'amateur' tradition in British and Irish architecture and of Clements' place among the 'amateurs' who dominated the art form in the decades before the coming-of-age of a fully-fledged architectural profession. This book argues that Nathaniel Clements was a patron of architecture, not a practising architect, and that he influenced upper-class residential development in Dublin and popularized a particular form of modest country house simply because of who he was - a high-ranking and well-connected government official and a renowned leader of fashion.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. This is the first book-length study of an Irish county constituency over a period of nearly 150 years. Its extended timespan makes it possible to trace the kaleidoscopic rise, fall and re-emergence of Co. Louth's political dynasties. The book is about elections. But for almost the whole of this period landed property, and more specifically the exclusively freehold franchise which obtained until 1832, were the basis of electoral influence. So attention must be paid to the size, value and descent of family estates, to the leasing policy of their owners, and to the success with which they responded to ever-changing and -tightening regulations governing the unique Irish system of freeholder registration. Family finances are another important consideration, because men could not fight elections if they could not afford election expenditure. The book addresses all aspects of the lives of Co. Louth's aristocracy and gentry, since electoral alliances and manoeuvrings were only one aspect of their inter-relationship. They had to co-operate with each other in county administration, which, as well as infrastructure and law and order, included architectural initiatives such as the design and building of Dundalk's iconic courthouse. There were denominational as well as political differences between and among them, and class solidarity smoothed religious antagonisms, even in the era of Catholic Emancipation. That era did, however, usher in one of the most dramatic changes of the period - the transition from a paternalistic style of politics to a new paradigm in which national issues and national party politics played a decisive part.To compare the Hogarthian affray which took place after the formative election of 1768 with the mobbing and intimidation of the freeholders at the famous election of 1826, is to compare two different political worlds.

Its extended timespan makes it possible to trace the kaleidoscopic rise, fall and re-emergence of Co. Louths political dynasties. This item is printed on demand.
