Subtitled "a social history," this book—with its feast of fine pictures—is about largesse (and the distribution of surplus wealth), the growing demand for personal privacy and improvements in domestic comfort. "Life styles are my subject," writes Colin Platt, "and buildings are my documents—the most sensitive and reliable of social indicators."
