Product Description

Synopsis
Suffolk deserves a special mention in garden and landscape history. Some of the greatest names in English landscape architecture, such as 'Capabiity' Brown, Humphrey Repton, William Andrew Nesfield and Sir Charles Barry, were instrumental in creating the county's gardens and parks. In this book Tom Williamson explores how the landscapes we admire today at places such as Ickworth, Shrubland, and Somerleyton came into existence. He shows how they reveal much about the past: as expressions of the landed elite's world view, and as evidence of the economy and society which produced them,. Throughout, he sets the designed landscapes in their context as part of the wider countryside. The book not only shows how trends in garden and landscape design were played out in a particular corner of Egnland: it also sheds light on parks and gardens as symbolic landscapes, proclaiming and reinforcing social divisions in a very unequal world.
