This volume brings together the papers presented at a conference
entitled 'Experiencing the Garden in the Eighteenth Century', held
at the Institute of Romance Studies, Senate House, University of
London on 13 March 2004. Speakers came from Europe, the United
States and New Zealand, and each gave a very different perspective
on the eighteenth-century landscape garden in England, France and
elsewhere in Europe. The papers focused on the theme of experience,
an especially important aspect of eighteenth-century garden design.
Landscape gardens were created for visitors to move through on a
journey from one place to the next: the garden would not be seen
all at once, but would be experienced as a story unfolding. The
visitor would follow a circuit around the garden, moving from light
to shade, being given suggestive prompts with statues, temples and
viewpoints, as if on a sensory, emotional and intellectual journey.
