Widely acknowledged as the last great landscape designer of the
eighteenth century, Humphry Repton created work that survives as a
bridge between the picturesque theory of Capability Brown and the
pastoral philosophy of Frederick Law Olmsted. By turns inspired by
and in opposition to the grandeur of Brown s estates, Repton s
contribution to the British landscape encompassed a tremendous
range, from subtle adjustments that emphasised the natural features
of the countryside to deliberate interventions that challenged the
notion of the picturesque. This remarkable book explores 15 of
Repton s most celebrated landscapes from the early maturity of his
gardens at Courteenhall and Mulgrave Castle to more adventurous
landscapes at Stanage, Brightling, and Endsleigh that would point
the way toward how we envision parkland today. With photography by
Joe Cornish commissioned specially for the book, and including
reproductions of key illustrations and plans for garden design from
the famous red books that shed light on Repton s vision and
process, this book illuminates some of Britain s most beautiful
gardens and parks and the masterful mind behind their creation.
