Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 543 pages. The gardener labors to harmonize nature's most subtle forms with his or her o wn most elaborate plans. Gardens present a succession of ever-rephrased dialogue s between nature and culture, design and delight, work and play. Yet they are al so mutable and fragile, vulnerable to the rigors of the changing seasons. The mo st stimulating thought and research on the history of the garden from the fiftee nth century to the present day are organized chronologically here in sections th at cover the humanist garden in Renaissance Italy; the Baroque garden and classi cal park; picturesque, arcadian, and sublime gardens of the Enlightenment; mazes , grottoes, and other curiosities; town and city parks; and even Disneyland. In each section, individual gardens are analyzed as paradigms of their type: the Ho rtus Palatinus in Heidelberg, the Parc Monceau in Paris, Stowe in England, and m any others, including contemporary gardens designed by Roberto Burle Marx, Ian H amilton Finlay, and Geoffrey Jellicoe. Many hitherto unrecorded examples are det ailed, and well-known aspects of the history of the garden are reinterpreted fro m totally new perspectives. The essays are supported by paintings, reliefs, and drawings as well as figurative illustrations and photographs. A specially commis sioned series of fifty-one plans of each epoch's most significant gardens comple tes this monumental survey of the evolution of the Western garden.
