2 comments about The History of Garden Design: The Western Tradition from the Renaissance to the Present Day.
- I'm reading this book now and plan to refer back to it often. It is quite beautiful and laid out like my art history books from college.
The content is fascinating, tracking the history of garden and park design along with the social, artistic and political movements that influenced it. But I continue to be distracted by the ridiculously long run-on sentences, interrupted by unnecessary parenthetical explanations. The book could have used an editor whose goal was to make this a reader-friendly volume. After all, not all of us are only interested in the photos and illustrations!
- I'm interested in versailles garden, so I want some special information about it's geometry. I'm the student of Architecture.

The Introduction "Architects in the Garden" is followed by nine chapters: "The Seventeenth Century: Masons, Gardeners and Gentlemen, 1609-1714", "The Eighteenth Century, Art and Nature", "The Nineteenth Century, Victorian Formal Gardens", "The Arts and Crafts Garden, 1890-1914", "The Modern Movement Garden, 1925-1939", "Continuing Classicism, 1920 to the Present Day", "Garden Buildings", "Garden Ornament", and "Towards the Twenty-First Century, Geoffrey Jellicoe's Moody Gardens".
