Boughton House - The English Versailles

Riassunto

Boughton House in Northamptonshire is a house of contrasts. Involvement with the law and politics at the highest level generated the wealth of its founders and builders, but enlightened artistic patronage and a strong aesthetic sense have been characteristic of many generations of the Dukes of Montagu and of Buccleuch since the 17th century.

Prefazione

Boughton House: The English Versailles, by Tessa Murdoch, looks at the magnificent Boughton House and its furnishings, the unique story of its architecture and its grounds, its founders and its builders.
