Summary
Since the 18th century, the idea of landscape has given context to the garden. Both the garden and landscape have proved fertile resources for a wide range of philosophical and cultural reflections. This title includes essays on the 'global garden', Lockean landscapes, ecohistory, and 19th-century Australian and North American landscape paintings.
