Tudor-style architecture is recognised around the world as a symbol of British identity. It has had a powerful hold on the popular imagination, representing the idea of 'home' to British citizens in the UK and abroad. Some love it, others hate it, but the Tudoresque is still being built, sometimes to give a house a settled old-fashioned air, sometimes (as in Thames Town, China) as something exotic. While lots of people live in Tudor-style houses, very few know anything about their general history. Tudoresque: In Pursuit of the Ideal Home is an insightful book that explores the origin of the style more thoroughly than ever before, tracing its roots to the antiquarian enthusiasms of the eighteenth century.
