Robin Usher, Protestant Dublin, 1660-1760: Architecture and Iconography. Basingstoke

摘要

In this ambitious monograph, the fruit of a Cambridge doctoral thesis, Robin Usher attempts a detailed reading of the entire iconography of the city of Dublin, from the royal court to the private residence, during the heyday of its transformation from 'a tatty English outpost... to a set-piece Georgian capital' (p. 8). Diving deep into the archives, he emerges with some new and nuanced conclusions and is unafraid to criticise more popular interpretations as lacking in empirical foundations.
