London England: Weidenfeld & Nicolson. Very Good. 1992. Reprint. Soft Cover. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0297831623 Trade Paperback Trade Paperback. England, Scotland and Waleas together possess one of the largest and most impressive collections of castles anywhere in the world. Synonymous with romance, nattle and intrigue, these castles play a key role in British history. In this book each stage of their development is traced - from numerous Bronze and iron Age hillforts, through Plantagenet and Edwardian consolidation and expansion, through the appalling devastation of the Civil War, to the lavishly ornate structures of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Paul Johnson explores the role of the castle in society and the increasingly sophisticated methods employed defending them. The book ends with a look at the restoration of several important castles in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, as well as the building of some extraordinary mock castles such as Castle Drogo in Devon and Castell Coch in Wales. A useful gazetteer provides information on castles open to the public. Beautifully illustrated with over 140 pictures, including 70 specially commissioned colour photographs and 20 plans and maps, this is a handsome record of a fascinating aspect of British heritage. Illustrated. 215 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
