The history of garden design
1991
Mosser, Monique | Teyssot, Georges
The book presents the latest, most stimulating thought and research on the history of the garden from the fifteenthy century to the present day in a series of essays which make up a mosaic picture of the garden in the Wewstern world. The humanist garden in Renaissance Italy; the concepts of the 'Sublime' and the 'Picturesque'; mazes, grottoes and other curiosities; city parks; American land art; and even Disneyland are amongst the topics treated. Individual gardens are analysed as paradigms of their type: the Hortus Palatinus in Heidelberg; the Parc Monceau in Paris; the Park Guell in Barcelona; Stowe in England; and many more. -- Book Jacket.
