Description

Arcadia: The Dream of Perfection in Renaissance England by Adam Nicolson. 'A fascinating depiction from award-winning author, Adam Nicolson, of a family and a country on the hinge of modernisation. 'Arcadia' is a rich and detailed evocation of England on the hinge of medieval and modern, and in this wide-ranging book Adam Nicolson explores a world in transition, moving from the intrigues, alliances and vendettas of the court to the intricate, everyday business of rural communities managing their affairs in times of stress. It was an England caught up in its first taste of modernity, yet divided over how to react to it, split between the old and the new, the moment at which the world we have lost turned into the world it has now become.'
