Written as an advocacy of melancholy's value as part of landscape
experience, this book situates the concept within landscape's
aesthetic traditions, and reveals how it is a critical part of
ethics and empathy. With a history that extends back to ancient
times, melancholy has hovered at the edges of the appreciation of
landscape, including the aesthetic exertions of the
eighteenth-century. Implicated in the more formal categories of the
Sublime and the Picturesque, melancholy captures the subtle
condition of beautiful sadness. The book proposes a range of
conditions which are conducive to melancholy, and presents examples
from each, including: The Void, The Uncanny, Silence, Shadows and
Darkness, Aura, Liminality, Fragments, Leavings, Submersion,
Weathering and Patina.
