The picturesque (a set of theories, ideas, and conventions that
grew up around the question of how we look at landscape) offers a
valuable focus for new investigations into the literary, artistic,
social, and cultural history of the late eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries. This volume of essays by scholars from various
disciplines in Britain and America incorporates a range of
historically and theoretically challenging approaches to the topic.
It covers the writers most closely identified with the exposition
of the picturesque as a theory, and also traces the influence and
implications of its aesthetic in a variety of fields in the
Romantic period, including literary and pictorial works, estate
management, and women's fashion. Several essays deal more
specifically with radical critiques and appropriations of the
picturesque in the nineteenth century, while in others its
influence is traced beyond traditionally accepted geographical or
historical bounds.
