Book excerpt: Excerpt from Histoire des Jardins, Anciens Et Modernes Ce n'est pas tout non seulement l'art des jardins n'a point de place parmi les arts, mais il n'a pas meme de nom et ceux qui le pratiquent n'en ont pas davantage. Il y a des arts qui s'appellent la peinture, la sculpture, la gravure, l'architecture, la comedie, la danse, et des artistes qu'on nomme peintres, sculpteurs ou statuaires, graveurs, architectes, comediens, danseurs. Il y a dans une autre categorie, un art qui s'appelle l'0rfevrerie et des artistes qui s'appellent orf'evres; il y a la bijouterie et les bijoutiers, la broderie et les brodeurs, ou brodeuses. Je pourrais prolonger cette nomenclature. Il n'y a point de mots pour designer l'art qui a pour objet la creation des jardins et ceux qui exercent cet art on est oblige de recourir a une expression com posee; cc n'est que depuis peu qu'on en a trouve une pour les artistes en jardins, et elle est impropre on les appelle des architectes-paysagistes: de nomination qui convient tout au plus aux artistes en jardins depuis que les jardins sont ou ont la pretention d'etre des paysages, mais qui n'a plus de sens ou qui est un contresens lorsqu'on parle des artistes d'il y a un siecle et demi ou deux siecles. Le Notre n'aurait point accepte la designation de paysagiste; ce n'etait pas non plus un architecte: il ne mit jamais deux pierres l'une sur l'autre; c'etait l'affaire de Mansart ou de Perrault. Qu'etait donc le Notre'? Il s'intitulait modestement jardinier. Il etait pourtant bien quelque chose de plus!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a book whose insight and originality have already had a dazzling impact in France, Alain Corbin has put the sense of smell on the historical map. He conjures up the dominion that the combined forces of smells--from the seductress's civet to the ubiquitous excremental odors of city cesspools--exercised over the lives (and deaths) of the French in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Download or read book Natural Interests written by Caroline Ford and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-28 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging the conventional wisdom that French environmentalism can be dated only to the post-1945 period, Caroline Ford argues that a broadly shared environmental consciousness emerged in France much earlier. Natural Interests unearths the distinctive features of French environmentalism, in which a large and varied cast of social actors played a role. Besides scientific advances and colonial expansion, nostalgia for a vanishing pastoral countryside and anxiety over the pressing dangers of environmental degradation were important factors in the success of this movement. Over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, war, political upheaval, and natural disasters—especially the devastating floods of 1856 and 1910 in Paris—caused growing worry over the damage wrought by deforestation, urbanization, and industrialization. The natural world took on new value for France’s urban bourgeoisie, as both a site of aesthetic longing and a destination for tourism. Not only naturalists and scientists but politicians, engineers, writers, and painters took up environmental causes. Imperialism and international dialogue were also instrumental in shaping environmental consciousness, as the unfamiliar climates of France’s overseas possessions changed perceptions of the natural world and influenced conservationist policies. By the early twentieth century, France had adopted innovative environmental legislation, created national and urban parks and nature reserves, and called for international cooperation on environmental questions.

Download or read book Inventing the Garden written by Matteo Vercelloni and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2010 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors trace the evolution of the Western garden from the first plots cultivated for pleasure in the Middle East to today's diverse green spaces that challenge traditional ideas about what constitutes a garden. They examine the changing attitude toward nature--as something to be dominated or embraced, ordered or allowed to range freely, exploited or conserved. Examples of the highly prescribed hortus conclusus or enclosed spaces of the Middle Ages are found in the Italian Renaissance gardens and the symmetries of Versailles and Les Tuileries. After the rise of Romanticism in the late eighteenth century, English gardeners such as William Kent and "Capability" Brown embraced the concept that nature should prevail over man's manipulation of it and created gardens that broke through traditional enclosures. A century later, while the American West witnessed both the conquering spirit of the homesteaders and the first stirrings of the conservation movement, urban parks and gardens were created as oases to which all people had access. The book concludes with a look at contemporary gardens, where efforts to reclaim landscapes and repurpose crumbling infrastructure are taking place within an atmosphere of ecological sensitivity--appreciating the idea that the whole planet is a garden and all who live in it are gardeners.
