Synopsis
This book documents the changing attitudes towards nature in France from 1750-1789. It examines the shift away from the prevailing sentiment of noble disinterest in the countryside towards a deeper appreciation of rural life, as exemplified by a growing desire to own and inhabit country homes. The author provides context on the historical divide between urban and rural living, and traces the growing significance of nature in the works of the period's philosophers, writers, artists, and other intellectuals and cultural figures. This analysis reveals how these evolving attitudes laid the groundwork for the Romantics' enduring fascination with the natural world.
