About the book
"If gardening is most usually thought of as a practical activity, John Dixon Hunt's book explores the theoretical or conceptual basis of garden art.". "Greater Perfections explores the meanings of "garden" and its relationship to other interventions into the natural world. It looks at the role of verbal and visual languages in place-making, as well as the fashion in which gardens have been represented in the visual and literary arts. But above all, it offers a new and challenging account of the role of representation in garden art itself."--BOOK JACKET.
First sentence: THE FIRST PROFESSIONAL practitioner of landscape architecture in England to publish any explicitly theoretical account of his work was Humphry Repton.
