Description

Explore the history of one of Europe's most iconic historic gardens with this detailed study from Liverpool University Press. This book traces the evolution of the Chiswick House grounds through 300 years of creation and re-creation, offering a deep look at how this landscape has changed over the centuries. Learn about the innovative Palladian ideas of Lord Burlington from the 1720s and the rustic transformations led by William Kent in the early 1730s. This period is recognized as a potential birthplace of the landscape garden style. The narrative follows the grounds as they were periodically updated to match changing tastes, including the era of spectacular garden parties held under the 6th Duke of Devonshire. As a garden composed of many different historical periods, this work captures the passion and design shifts that shaped these famous grounds. It is an essential resource for those interested in architecture, landscape design, and the history of European gardens.
