Beskrivning

This seminal study, written by Britain's best-known landscape historian, takes a chronological tour through British parks and gardens since Roman times. Each chapter introduces the characteristic features of parks and gardens in each period and explores the social and economic context for their construction. Chris Taylor then provides a detailed explanation of specific sites and draws on 100 aerial photographs to illustrate a new perspective on Britain's cherished parks and gardens.
