Quarto; hardcover; 246pp., with colour and monochrome illustrations. Minor wear. Dustwrapper now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Near fine. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. Beginning in the fifteenth century the author…explores the Portuguese origins of the word veranda; first found in Vasco da Gama's account of his meeting with the Rajah of Calicut, called the Samuri. From Moorish courtyards, Mughal tents and the verandas and porches of North America the architectural and social history of the veranda is explored as both a physical and cultural construction. In literature, theatre, art and mind the veranda in Australia is discussed as an icon and a source of cultural identity.
