'A palace within a Palace': the Speaker's House at Westminster, 1794-1834

我的项目将调查威斯敏斯特宫内的原始议长之家。议长于1794年接管了前审计师之家，在接下来的几年里，詹姆斯·怀亚特对其进行了奢华的改建。我的项目将为这座被历史学家忽视的失落已久的建筑提供第一个详细的研究。我将重建它不断变化的布局和外观；分析它与议长角色演变的关系；并考虑它在怀亚特的全部作品和格鲁吉亚哥特式复兴中的文体意义。最后，我将考虑第一任议长对其维多利亚时代继任者的影响。

My project will investigate the original Speaker's House within the Palace of Westminster. The Speaker took over the former Auditor's House in 1794, and in subsequent years it was lavishly remodelled by James Wyatt. My project will provide the first detailed study of this long-lost building which has been overlooked by historians. I will reconstruct its changing layout and appearance; analyse its importance in relation to the Speaker's evolving role; and consider its stylistic significance within Wyatt's oeuvre and the Georgian Gothic revival. Finally, I will consider the influence of the first Speaker's House on its Victorian successor.
