A ground-breaking study of the late Georgian phenomenon of the 'architect-designed cottage', this study of small buildings built on country estates and small-looking buildings built in picturesque rural settings, resorts towns and suburban developments explores the discourse that articulated this architectural phenomenon. At the heart of the English idea of the cottage is a Classical idea about retreat from the city to the countryside.
