From the Back Cover
A garden classic, 'The Genius Of The Place' reveals that the history of landscape gardening is much more than a history of design and style; it opens up a wide perspective of English cultural history, showing how landscape gardening was gradually transformed over two centuries into an art that has been widely imitated throughout Europe and North America.
Review
A significant contribution to the subject of garden history. The introduction is one of the finest summaries of that 200-year period of garden history that is currently available.
(A. Nelson Landscape Architecture)For each extract, Mr. Hunt and Mr. Willis have provided a witty and instructive introduction, as well as a general introduction that is a masterpiece of elegant compactness.
