Description

The nineteenth century witnessed an expanse in the range and diversity of gardens from domestic gardens in and outside the home, to gardens that catered for larger groups including scientists, company workers and local people (and their dead).

Gardens under glass developed as did varied approaches to garden design, planting and methods of gardening.

Several factors contributed towards, and were influenced by, the evolution of gardens in the period: the development of leisure and mass markets, the spread of the middle-classes and the professionalisation of gardening, the development of the suburbs and changing role of women.

Gardens are a subject that is both global and multidisciplinary and this set provides the reader with a variety of ways in which to read them.

This collection brings together primary sources on gardens and gardening including the gardening press, the broader press, government papers, book excerpts and some previously unpublished documents.

Material is primarily derived from Britain, with Europe, USA, Australia, India, China and Japan also featuring.
