Description
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 childrens swings, the concept of the park is deeply rooted in the history and culture of the UK. A decidedly pastoral environment, it is one which has been repeatedly reinvented through the centuries.
'Parkland' considers the origins and development of parks by looking at their social and natural history. 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 of the Victorian philanthropists.
The book is fully illustrated with both contemporary and historical photographs, as well as with specially commissioned wildlife watercolors by artist Dan Cole.
