Drawing together landscape, architecture and literature, Strawberry Hill, the celebrated 18th-century 'Gothic' villa and garden beside the River Thames, is an autobiographical site, where we can read the story of its creator, Horace Walpole. Avoiding the straightforward architectural description of previous texts, this illustrated book reveals the Gothic villa and associated landscape to be inspired by theories that stimulate 'The Pleasures of the Imagination' articulated in the series of essays by Joseph Addison (1672-1719) published in the Spectator (1712).
