The Edwardian House Explained (England's Living History) Review: I am sometimes anxious that the books that receive attention do so by chance, or because their authors are better-connected or better-advertised or some such than their competitors. It is thus greatly reassuring to me that Trevor Yorke's innocuous 'The ... House Explained' series has established such a substantial following. They have done so simply because they are so good. In a market dominated by vapid coffee-table ornaments, lightweight introductions and the occasional specialised treatise, Yorke's books distinguish themselves by being astonishingly rich in information while also being gentle, approachable and completely unpretentious. I often go away with the impression that one learns more in three or four densely-packed pages of Yorke than one does in entire books. Architectural description is seamlessly integrated with social history: we come to see what these houses meant to the Edwardians, and how they were originally used. Even those with a good amateur knowledge of Edwardian domestic architecture can learn a good deal from 'The Edwardian House Explained', but those with no prior background will also find it completely approachable. Highly recommended to anyone who would like to better understand and appreciate the buildings in which many of us still dwell, and among which all of us live. Review: I have The 1930s House Explained, so I knew what to expect from this book. It's got line drawings and photos as well as clear text explaining the features of the house, and it's written clearly so even non-architects get a lot from it. My only negative is that this book seems to concentrate mainly on the grandest Edwardian houses, whereas I really wanted to know about small houses and what you can learn about the lives of "ordinary" people from them. I'd have thought more people are likely to live in an Edwardian terrace than a Lutyens Arts and Crafts house, but they didn't get much of a mention (The 1930s House Explained did explain the features of smaller homes, as well as elaborate and iconic mansions). If you have or know a grand Edwardian house, you'll learn a lot about it from this book, but otherwise it's not as detailed as I'd hoped. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,222,863 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #463 in Regional Architecture #1,732 in Residential Architecture #1,941 in Architectural History | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (101) | | Dimensions | 6.25 x 0.5 x 8.75 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1853069825 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1853069826 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | England's Living History | | Print length | 128 pages | | Publication date | December 1, 2007 | | Publisher | Countryside Books | ## Images ![The Edwardian House Explained (England's Living History) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HH6ZM0e5L.jpg) ![The Edwardian House Explained (England's Living History) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Gh3qxsI-L.jpg) ![The Edwardian House Explained (England's Living History) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31-9dTkzrkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***D on February 18, 2018* I am sometimes anxious that the books that receive attention do so by chance, or because their authors are better-connected or better-advertised or some such than their competitors.
