McBride provides new perspectives on the roles of the country house discourse she identifies linking it with a number of larger historical shifts during the time period. Her interdisciplinary focus allows her to bring together a wide range of material - including architecture poetry oil painting economic and social history and proscriptive literature - in order to examine their complex interrelationship revealing connections unexplored in more narrowly focused studies.
