Reviews
"Visually thrilling and engaging throughout, this collection makes a timely intervention in several fields, and will probably become a cornerstone text for scholars working across architectural history, material culture, social history, history of collecting and art history. Signposting archival and museum resources alongside compelling methodological frameworks, The Georgian London Town House issues a rallying cry for future scholarship and proposes exciting and myriad ways in which we might look to reanimate these previously obscured worlds." * Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies *
A major contribution to scholarship, mostly well written and carefully edited ... The book is generally attractive and well produced. * Transactions of the Ancient Monuments Society *
