Description
Stephanie Ross explores the magical allure of gardens in this thought-provoking study. Drawing on philosophy and the histories of art, culture, and ideas, she examines the complex messages gardens can convey and situates gardening among the other fine arts. Ross's book offers a distinctive blend of historical and contemporary material, ranging from accounts of famous eighteenth-century gardens to incisive connections with present-day philosophical debates. Beautifully illustrated and elegantly written, What Gardens Mean is a sophisticated account of the myriad pleasures that gardens offer.
