Throughout history men have molded their environment to express or to symbolize ideas -- power, order, comfort, harmony, pleasure, mystery. The means by which this has been achieved have varied in scale and composition, from small gardens to complete cities, but it is Geoffrey and Susan Jellicoe's distinction to have realized that they are manifestations of a single process, and to have linked them all together. With 734 illustrations and six maps.

The following is inscribed on page 308 of the author's copy of Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy : ' During this chapter decided to write a history of landscape architecture, at 10.05am Sunday 23rd May 1958' , and ' completed at Taormina, Feb. 1975 ' Ten years later the idea of translating his great work The Landscape of Man into visible form was formulated at Seattle on the evening of 19 May 1985. The sketch plan, with little future deviation, was completed in time for breakfast the following morning. The Historical Gardens that this book describes are only part of a multi-million twenty year programme initiated by the Moody Foundation for the enrichment of Galveston, Texas - a city destroyed by inundation in 1900 and now materially recovered. The site of the gardens themselves is twenty-five acres of flat land adjoining sea marshes. This will be divided by artificial mountains into West and East. There will be fifteen cultures and the guide will take the visitor through the

This is the first of four volumes of the writings of one of this century's most remarkable and prolific thinkers. Together with Jock Shepherd, his co-student at the Architectural Association, Geoffrey Jellicoe published his first book in 1925. In the literature on landscape architecture, Italian Gardens of the Renaissance has become the pivotal work and finest appraisal on the subject. To the original photographs of Jock Shepherd's drawings, Jellicoe has now added a completely new text. In An Italian Study , his reassessment of his generative trip to Italy taken almost seventy years ago, he sets out to assess the way in which Shepherd's remarkable drawings interpret the spirit of villa and garden. As a sequel to Italian Gardens of the Renaissance , in 1932 Jellicoe published Baroque Gardens of Austria . Since so little has been written on the subject, and since this work has been long out of print, it is produced here in its entirety. It paints a fascinating picture of the great buildings and

The first of these two pre-war studies, Gardens &amp; Design , was written in 1927 together with Jock Shepherd, Jellicoe's collaborator on an earlier work - Italian Gardens of the Renaissance . In their thought-provoking study the authors analyse the influences and elements that unite house and garden, palace and scape. town and country, taking as ideal examples Little Thakeham in Sussex, the Villa Gamberaia outside Florence, and Versailles, while at the same time stressing by example the importance of many other houses and gardens in this country and on the Continent, and illustrating the text with some 175 black and white photographs and 30 line drawings. At the tail end of the twentieth century much of the content of Gardens &amp; Design may appear to be no more than we are used to reading in the books on garden design which now proliferate. But in 1927 its message could not have been more vital and exciting: garden design was to be seen as an art rather than as an appendage to horticulture. Furthe

Garden Art Press

This celebrated body of work has long been out of print, yet the comprehensive coverage of major aspects of modern landscape design, practice and philosophy is as relevant today as when the three volumes of studies appeared (1960, 1966, 1970). Geoffrey Jellicoe's purpose has been to study the influences of the past and present on the way we regard the 'shaping of the land to accommodate the innumerable activities of the modern world', and the fourteen selected studies in this volume have both an historical and contemporary bias. But the author also adopts a philosophical and psychological approach to his subject, and here his masterly exposition of the place of symbolism and allegory in the understanding of landscape design is crucial, for it presages Jellicoe's development in later works of the underlying importance of the subconscious in our reaction to and understanding of landscape. The first study, ' The Italian Garden of the Renaissance ', was given as a lecture from material gathered in 19
