Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gardens of Court and Country provides the first comprehensive overview of the development of the English formal garden from 1630 to 1730. Often overshadowed by the English landscape garden that became fashionable later in the 18th century, English formal gardens of the 17th century displayed important design innovations that reflected a broad rethinking of how gardens functioned within society. With insights into how the Protestant nobility planned and used their formal gardens, the domestication of the lawn, and the transformation of gardens into large rustic parks, David Jacques explores the ways forecourts, flower gardens, bowling greens, cascades, and more were created and reimagined over time. This handsome volume includes 300 illustrations - including plans, engravings, and paintings - that bring lost and forgotten gardens back to life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Houses and Gardens in the 17th and 18th Centuries: A Series of Bird's-Eye Views Reproduced From Contemporary Engravings by Kip, Badeslade, Harris and Others The aim has been to place before the reader views of actual buildings with their setting, showing how completely they carried out the contentions of some modern architects as to the necessary relation of the house to its surroundings. The house fits its site with due orderly accompaniment of garden, terraces, and courtyards. It is evident from the plates that there was a distinct tendency towards the classic style of building. Symmetry of design became the prevailing feature, not only of the main block but of the surrounding buildings. An orderly balance of the several groups was an essential part of the design, whether of a grand mansion or of a country house. The most interesting fact is the evolution of the fine country mansion as shown in Up Parke, Stansted, Melton Constable, Belton, etc. As far as the domestic planning goes, it varies but little from the modern house. In fact, in taking a plan like that of the well-known house at Eltham, it is almost exactly what a common-sense architect would make for a client at the present day. It is rather curious to note that we have gone back at this time to this period - to Inigo Jones, Sir Christopher. Wren, Webb, Talman, and Vanbrugh, rather than to Kent and Colin Campbell.

Book excerpt: Parks and gardens in eighteenth-century England are usually seen as works of art created by individual geniuses like William Kent, Capability Brown and Humphry Repton. But this narrow view wasn't necessarily shared by contemporaries, and Tom Williamson in this thought-provoking book reveals that the aristocracy and gentry, who paid for these private landscapes and lived in them, were motivated by more complex interests and needs. Landowners had strong ideas of their own about how their property should look and how it should function. The park and garden were part of a working estate consisting of farms and forestry enterprises, and the surroundings of the country house were shaped to suit the requirements of hunting, shooting, riding and other recreational activities as well as to conform to the aesthetic principles of philosophers and landscape gardeners. Tom Williamson's pioneering study concentrates on the wider social, economic and political implications of these elaborate private landscapes. He emphasizes the practical relationship between the landowners who were demanding customers and the designers who were businessmen as well as artists. In the process he shows how changing fashions in the layout of gentlemen's pleasure grounds were related to broader currents of social and economic development in eighteenth-century England.
