Description

Explore how garden design transformed during the Georgian era in this scholarly examination of landscape and regional identity in eighteenth-century England. This Routledge Research title investigates the evolution of gardens as expressions of wealth, status and social position amongst the landed aristocracy, urban elite and gentry. Discover how the raw materials of place shaped landscape design, and why contemporaries valued consulting the 'genius of the place' when creating gardens. The book reveals how gardens functioned differently across social classes and regions despite formal similarities, and how the homogenisation of Georgian society influenced landscape aesthetics and meaning. Essential reading for garden historians, landscape architects and those interested in how English gardens reflected the cultural and social hierarchies of the period.
