Marie Luise Gothein (1863 1931) published this scholarly two-volume
history of garden design in German in 1913. Its second edition of
1925 was translated into English by Laura Archer-Hind, edited by
gardening author Walter P. Wright (1864 1940), and published in
1928. The highly illustrated work is still regarded as among the
most thorough and important surveys of its kind. It begins by
examining evidence from both archaeology and literature, as well as
climate and soil conditions, to discuss the gardens of ancient
Egypt and Assyria, and continues to survey developments worldwide
until the twentieth century. Individual gardens, technical
innovations, and fashions in horticulture are all discussed in
detail. Volume 1 begins in ancient times and ends with English
gardens during the Renaissance, and Volume 2 describes gardening in
Europe, the Far East and North America from the Renaissance to the
early twentieth century."
