| Wherever one looked in Knole or Burton Agnes or Hardwick Hall (their ostensibly iconophobic, Protestant milieu notwithstanding), the eye was likely to fall on lavish and intricate objects. It includes a chapter on gardens, another on the decorative arts, and two architectural case-studies, the town of Shrewsbury and Hardwick Hall, which allow Eric Mercer and Malcolm Airs to operate at a level of richly concrete detail which compensates for the inevitable vagueness of a general account of the sixteenth century in some three hundred pages. |
