Parkland is a familiar and enduring landscape. From its origins in the cleared areas of the "wildwood" to the contemporary interpretation of the recreation ground with children's swings, the concept of the park is deeply rooted in the history and culture of the UK.

Graham Harvey traces the evolution of parkland from its earliest guise as a wood-pasture through royal forests and deer parks to the 18th century landscape park and finally to the metropolitan creations ofthe Victorian philanthropists. The book is fully illustrated with both contemporary and historical photographs, as well as specially commissione Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
