Tyranny of Taste The Politics of Architecture and Design in Britain 1550-1960

"...Lubbock has risked criticism and received it--for his idiosyncratic selection from history, for his personalized definition of taste and for his decision, after citing and discussing so many irrepressible theorists, not to commit himself to any conclusion or overall theory. His brave premise, however, has shone a new torch over the history of design in this country."Lubbock, Jules is the author of 'Tyranny of Taste The Politics of Architecture and Design in Britain 1550-1960', published 1995 under ISBN 9780300058895 and ISBN 0300058896.
