Although the integration of sculpture in gardens is part of a long
tradition dating back at least to antiquity, the sculptures
themselves are often overlooked, both in the history of art and in
the history of the garden. This collection of essays considers the
changing relationship between sculpture and gardens over the last
three centuries, focusing on four British archetypes: the Georgian
landscape garden, the Victorian urban park, the outdoor spaces of
twentieth-century modernism and the late-twentieth-century
sculpture park. Through a series of case studies exploring the
contemporaneous audiences of gardens, the book uncovers the social,
political and gendered messages revealed by sculpture's placement
and suggests that the garden can itself be read as a sculptural
landscape.
