A Cultural History of Gardens presents an authoritative survey from ancient times to the present. This set of six volumes covers over 2500 years of gardens as physical, social and artistic spaces.
Each volume discusses the same themes in its chapters:
1. Design
2. Types of Gardens
3. Planting
4. Use and Reception
5. Visual Representations
6. Verbal Representations
7. Meaning
8. Gardens and the Larger Landscape
This structure means readers can either have a broad overview of a period by reading a volumen or follow a theme through history by reading the relevant chapter in each volumen.
Superbly illustrated, the full six volumen set combines to present the most authoritative and comprehensive survey available through history
