This book is based upon Barry Parker's essays and offers a critical evaluation of his designs and plans of gardens and houses.
Barry Parker (1867–1944) was a leading figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement in England. In partnership with Raymond Unwin he planned the world''s first ''Garden City'', at Letchworth, and London''s Hampstead Garden Suburb. They also designed many individual houses and other buildings. In 1910 Parker began publication of a series of essays called ''Modern Country Homes in England'' in The Craftsman, an influential American journal. It was his hope that these would be eventually collected together in book form, and would thus stand as a statement of his architectural beliefs. This volume, first published in 1986, is based upon these essays, and offers a critical evaluation of Parker''s work. Many of the illustrations are taken from original drawings and photographs.
