In fact, it was PHJ's passion for Hope that was the major force in the evolution of the show. <br /><br />According to one of the essays, Hope was often mocked by society and when a romantic novel he wrote under a pseudonym became a raging success, no one could believe it was Hope who could write something so popular (many thought Byron was the author). Of course, not being appreciated in one's own time puts Hope in excellent company.Emily Evans Eerdmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434821015450147843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591223218619839288.post-60066599291937423572011-02-14T17:53:13.747-05:002011-02-14T17:53:13.747-05:00For those who like Hope's work, you have to ch...For those who like Hope's work, you have to check out David Watkin's book Thomas Hope: Regency Designer.

Jaw dropping. Mr, Hobbs couldn't have been nicer or welcoming, or accommodating. The show was astonishing, and the setting, a meticulously restored Vanderbilt neoclassical limestone mansion, was amazing. Ducal, really. Thank you.
