The authors skillfully blend history and philosophy, sciences and novelistic invention into an intoxicating mixture. The result is completely successful: One can smell the rich fields of medieval Europe, view the preoccupied flight of bees long dead, and muse over the creation of that most artificial of natural worlds, the garden. -- Leighton W. Klein, The Bloomsbury Review Reading the French Garden focuses on ideas that are essential to garden history: how gardens were perceived rather than simply laid out, how gardens of the past may be viewed differently by contemporaries and by later historians, the cultural determination of garden style--its social and intellectual uses. --John Dixon Hunt
