- Summary:
- "The study examines the hundreds of secular and religious buildings, urban residential and commercial foundations, and public monuments commissioned in Lucknow and Oudh between 1722 and 1856 by the fabulously rich Nawabs of Oudh and their Court, the English East India Company, and others." "A sequel to the author's earlier work on the subject, this study is a wholly original work, and analyses the buildings from both an art-historical standpoint and a social angle, seeking to embody the latest multidisciplinary approaches to architectural history pioneered in England and the United States. Based on extensive field work and archival research in the English, French, and Oriental languages, its text is lavishly illustrated with often rare photographs and line drawings, and is supplemented by appendices on the state of the building profession then and a brief account of the political and cultural background, copious bibliographical references, a glossary, maps, and a Foreword by Dr. Gordon Johnson, President, Wolfson College, Cambridge, and Editor, New Cambridge History of India."--Jacket.
