O'MALLEY, THERESE / WOLSCHKE-BULMAHN, JOACHIM, ed. . John Evelyn's "Elysium Britannicum" and European gardening edited by Therese O'Malley and Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn. Washington, D.C.: Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, 1998, vii, 310pp., . Many black and white illustrations. - Dumbarton Oaks Colloquium on the History of Landscape Architecture, 17. - "John Evelyn (1620-1706), an English virtuoso and writer, was a pivotal figure in seventeenth-century intellectual life in England. He left an immensely rich literary heritage, which is of great significance for scholars interested in garden history and the histories of intellectual life and architecture." "Evelyn is perhaps best known for Sylva, a compilation of thoughts on practical estate management, gardening, and philosophy, and the first book published by the Royal Society in London. "Elysium Britannicum," Evelyn's unpublished manuscript of almost a thousand pages of densely packed drafts, rewrites, and projects, was perhaps something of an enigma to his contemporaries, who nevertheless urged its publication." "The contributors to this volume approach Evelyn and his work from diverse disciplines, including architectural and intellectual history and the histories of science, agriculture, gardens, and literature. They present a rich picture of the "Elysium Britannicum" as one of the central documents of late European humanism." - CONTENTS: Foreword / Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn -- Introduction to John Evelyn and the "Elysium Britannicum" / Therese O'Malley -- John Evelyn's "Elysium Britannicum" : provenance, condition, transcription / John E.

Condizione: Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 310 pages. John Evelyn (1620?1706), an English virtuoso and writer, was a pivotal figure in seventeenth-century intellectual life in England. He left an immensely rich literary heritage, which is of great significance for scholars interested in garden history and the histories of intellectual life and architecture. Evelyn is perhaps best known for Sylva, a compilation of thoughts on practical estate management, gardening, and philosophy, and the first book published by the Royal Society in London. As one of the group of learned men who founded the Royal Society in 1660 to promote scientific research, discussion, and publications, John Evelyn was at the center of many of the vital intellectual currents of the time. ?Elysium Britannicum,? Evelyn?s unpublished manuscript of almost a thousand pages of densely packed drafts, rewrites, and projects, was perhaps something of an enigma to his contemporaries, who nevertheless urged its publication. It remains for scholars today a treasure-trove of fascinating insights on Evelyn and his milieu. Clean copy. Record # 386767.…

"In the period from 1890 to 1940, landscape architects organized as a profession distinct from art and architecture, bringing to the fore a variety of theories and aspirations to influence urban growth, reinforce national identity, and shape land conservation and land-use planning, among other goals in response to challenges posed by rapid change. The twelve essays included in this exceptional volume grapple with the definition and significance of modernism in landscape design during this transformative era." (dj).…
