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. Published in association with the Paul Mellon Centre
for Studies in British Art
