The Middle Ages was a time of great upheaval - the period between
the seventh and fourteenth centuries saw great social, political
and economic change. The radically distinct cultures of the
Christian West, Byzantium, Persian-influenced Islam, and al-Andalus
resulted in different responses to the garden arts of antiquity and
different attitudes to the natural world and its artful
manipulation. Yet these cultures interacted and communicated,
trading plants, myths and texts. By the fifteenth century the
garden as a cultural phenomenon was immensely sophisticated and a
vital element in the way society saw itself and its relation to
nature. A Cultural History of Gardens in the Medieval Age 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.
