The biennial conference on Restoring Southern Gardens and Landscapes has become an important forum for leading scholars to present work and thought on garden history and landscape preservation. When the first conference was held in 1979, landscape restoration was just beginning its current rise to prominence in the field of historic preservation. By the eleventh conference in 1997, new theories, new practices, and varying opinions, had emerged in this ever-widening field. Therefore, the conference committee felt it was time to examine current theories and practices, and brought together experts in this field. Their essays are presented in these proceedings of the 1997 conference; both layman and professional will find here stimulating thinking and helpful information. The book is illustrated with forty-nine photographs and landscape plans; chapter title pages are highlighted with historic landscape drawings.
