Download or read book Grammars of Approach written by Cynthia Wall and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-02-22 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Grammars of Approach, Cynthia Wall offers a close look at changes in perspective in spatial design, language, and narrative across the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries that involve, literally and psychologically, the concept of “approach.” In architecture, the term “approach” changed in that period from a verb to a noun, coming to denote the drive from the lodge at the entrance of an estate “through the most interesting part of the grounds,” as landscape designer Humphrey Repton put it. The shift from the long straight avenue to the winding approach, Wall shows, swung the perceptual balance away from the great house onto the personal experience of the visitor. At the same time, the grammatical and typographical landscape was shifting in tandem, away from objects and Things (and capitalized common Nouns) to the spaces in between, like punctuation and the “lesser parts of speech”. The implications for narrative included new patterns of syntactical architecture and the phenomenon of free indirect discourse. Wall examines the work of landscape theorists such as Repton, John Claudius Loudon, and Thomas Whately alongside travel narratives, topographical views, printers’ manuals, dictionaries, encyclopedias, grammars, and the novels of Defoe, Richardson, Burney, Radcliffe, and Austen to reveal a new landscaping across disciplines—new grammars of approach in ways of perceiving and representing the world in both word and image.
Download or read book Parks in Hertfordshire Since 1500 written by Hugh C. Prince and published by Univ of Hertfordshire Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural, political, and economic influences on the changing fortunes of Hertfordshire’s great parks over the past 500 years are examined in this authoritative history. Fascinating accounts of such parks as Hatfield, Moor Park, and Knebworth are illustrated by revisiting each historical era and its prevailing fashions, such as the enthusiasm for deer hunting in the 16th century and the golden age of landscape gardening in the 18th century. Close analysis of each time period’s cartographical sources further supports this fitting record of the county’s green spaces, which ultimately outlines the ongoing decline in Hertfordshire’s parklands, now divided piecemeal between golf courses, schools, and hotels; sold as real estate; or precariously maintained as tourist attractions.

Download or read book Humphry Repton in Hertfordshire written by Susan Flood and published by Hertfordshire Publications. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published to commemorate the bicentenary of Repton's death, this book provides a brief overview of Repton's work in Hertfordshire and is followed by transcriptions of the complete texts of all seven known Red Books that he prepared for places in Hertfordshire, together with reproductions of their illustrations. These are accompanied by brief discussions of the character of the places in question, the nature of Repton's proposals and the extent to which they were implemented; this section also presents a transcription of the correspondence and other documents relating to Repton's important work for the East India Company at Haileybury. The final part of the book briefly discusses those places for which no Red Book (or similar documentation) has survived, presents the key evidence for associating them with Repton and, again briefly discusses their history and the probable nature of Reptons' activites there. -- Preface.

Book excerpt: Humphry Repton (1752–1818) remains one of England’s most interesting and prolific garden and landscape designers. Renowned for his innovative design proposals and distinctive before-and-after images, captured in his famous “Red Books,” Repton’s astonishing career represents the link between the simple parklands of his predecessor Capability Brown and the more elaborate, structured, and formal landscapes of the Victorian age. This lavishly illustrated book, based on a wealth of new research, reinterprets Repton’s life, working methods, and designs, and examines why they proved so popular in a rapidly changing world.
