Sir Edwin Lutyens is widely regarded as one of Britain''s greatest architects. In a career of over 50 years, spanning the Victorian, Edwardian and modern eras of architecture, Lutyens was prolific. His work ranged from great country houses, city commercial office buildings, his famous World War I memorials across Europe and Britain, and his magnum opus designs for New Delhi built during the 1920s and 1930s. Despite such diversity of building types across his long career, Lutyens''s most celebrated works remain his country houses, which first established his reputation during the 1890s. As Lutyens''s practice flourished his work became widely promoted in publications such as <i>Country Life</i> magazine, and his houses, particularly those designed in the vernacular manner, would subsequently give rise to an entire genre of the English country house that became known, as it is to this day, as a ''Lutyens-style'' house. <i><b>Sir Edwin Lutyens: The Arts and Crafts Houses</b></i> brings to
