Public architecture in Ireland 1680-1760 / Edward McParland with photographs by David Davison.
London : Yale University Press, ©2001.
ix, 241 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 34 cm
"This book examines the public architecture of Ireland from 1680 to 1760, a crucial period during which the country undertook the combined tasks of recovering from war and constructing a new and stable society. New buildings, and new types of buildings, were needed to express and sustain this society. Architectural historian Edward McParland explores the role of public architecture in this enterprise, focusing on public buildings as works of architecture and art, while also discussing the political, social, and economic contexts in which they were built. More than one hundred specially commissioned photographs by David Davison beautifully document this cultural process."--BOOK JACKET.
