This comprehensive, well-illustrated survey of English
architecture provides an evenhanded, straightforward history from
Anglo-Saxon times to the end of the twentieth century. Concentrating on
buildings that can still be seen today, David Watkin discusses all the
styles and periods of English architecture, including Norman, early
Gothic, Perpendicular, Tudor and Jacobean, Baroque, Classical, and
Victorian.The emphasis is on the high points of English creative
genius as expressed in the art of architecture by Edwin Lutyens, Inigo
Jones, Christopher Wren, John Soane, James Stirling, Richard Rogers, and
a host of others. This updated edition includes a new preface, a
revised bibliography, and an expanded chapter on twentieth-century
architecture that brings the story up to the present.

Edwardian Opulence: British Art at the Dawn of the 20th Century,” which opens tomorrow at the Yale Center for British Art, offers a sweeping look into the visual and decorative arts in Britain during the reign of King Edward VII (1901-1910). The exhibition encompasses about 170 objects, from paintings to costume and jewelry, by artists and designers ranging from John Singer Sargent to Carl Fabergé. It aims to seek a middle ground between those who argue that the Edwardian era was the change-resistant tail end of the Victorian period and those who assert that it was in fact a time of important social and technological change. Whatever your position on that issue, you can still appreciate Giovanni Boldini’s glamorous “Portrait of a Lady (Mrs. Lionel Phillips),” William Orpen’s insightful “A Bloomsbury Family” or the sumptuously embroidered evening gown designed by the House of Worth in Paris for Lady Curzon, the Vicereine of India.
“Edwardian Opulence” will be on view through June 2 at the Yale Center for British Art, 1080 Chapel Street, New Haven.
Butchart Gardens: British Columbia, Canada
Perfect place to reflect.
When Jennie Butchart’s husband, a manufacturer of Portland cement, told her in 1904 that they’d exhausted the limestone in the quarry, the door was opened to create what would later become one of Canada’s notable tourist attractions.
The Butchart Gardens near Victoria in British Columbia were created within that disused quarry.
Featured here is the Edwardian-style Sunken Garden, with a lake where reflections of multi-colored foliage surrounding it take on a beauty of their own.
