The English Landscape Garden by Michael Symes
The 18th-century phenomenon of the English Landscape Garden was so widespread that even today, when so much has been built over or otherwise changed, one is never far from an example throughout England.
Reviews
'An authority on the 18th-century garden, the author clearly sees both trees and woods—and, indeed, the whole purview of how and why English gardens assumed such a central role in the Enlightenment—making his latest work an excellent introduction to the subject’
Tiffany Daneff, Country Life
'Symes does an excellent job of synthesizing a large body of research and allowing the reader to distinguish the wood from the trees: the detail is there, but the bigger picture is to the fore. [...] Symes’s book provides an excellent and engaging overview of its subject: one that will satisfy many readers and encourage others to find out more.'
