The history of the garden in the Renaissance, traced from the late
fourteenth century in Italy to the death of Andre Le Notre in 1700
in France, is a story both of dynamism and codification. The period
saw the emergence of what would become archetypal elements of the
formal garden and the fixing of theory and language of the garden
arts. At the same time, newly important sciences, developments in
engineering, as well as globalization, historicity, and theories of
aesthetics were embraced in the construction of such gardens. The
result was the notion of the landscape as something to be labored
on, created, and delighted in, that ultimately would become a stage
upon which Renaissance cultural politics played out. A Cultural
History of Gardens in the Renaissance presents an overview of the
period with essays on issues of design, types of gardens, planting,
use and reception, issues of meaning, verbal and visual
representation of gardens, and the relationship of gardens to the
larger landscape.
