Sir Edwin Lutyens and Country Life

with Clive Aslet

Coinciding with the re-publication of the long-out-of-print Lutyens Memorial Volumes, the ICAA is pleased to present this lecture delivered by Clive Aslet, which was filmed on location in London. Here, Clive provides a thorough exploration of Edwin Lutyens' longstanding and fruitful relationship with the publication Country Life, and with its founder Edward Hudson, who was also a patron of the architect.

Clive Aslet is an award-winning architectural historian and journalist, acknowledged as a leading authority on Britain and its way of life. He has published around twenty non-fiction titles, including The Last Country Houses and The American Country House. Clive was editor of the magazine Country Life for 13 years and continues to contribute to newspapers and magazines, as well as broadcasting on radio and television.

The first volume of the series, The Architecture of Sir Edwin Lutyens: The Country Houses is currently available for purchase on the ICAA website.
