Livre Edition originale
Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo, 22 cm, xvi, 256 pp, 16 pp of colour platesand numerous black-and-white ills. From the blurb - "The Oxford visitor who climbs the tower of St Mary's or the cupola of the Sheldonian is rewarded by the sight of the distinctive collegiate arrangement of ancient buildings set in green quadrangles, gardens and groves. Oxford Gardens traces the history of gardens and landscapes in and around the university. It shows how, from century to century, succeeding aesthetic and philosophic movements were reflected in the landscaping of the colleges and their grounds. The effects of historic events were keenly felt in the university, effects of wars and revolution, foreign travel and literary ideas. In return Oxford nurtured the new principles of art and design, which spread beyond the university to have a wider influence on garden history. Mavis Batey's account of Oxford gardens starts with the early monastic foundations, the cloisters, quadrangles and knot gardens of medieval limes. She tells of the effects of Renaissance, Reformation and Civil War on Oxford. She traces the origin and great influence of the Oxford Physic Garden, now known as the Botanic Garden. Further chapters depict the evidence of the great aesthetic movements; the Grand Manner at New College and Trinity; the picturesque movement at Worcester College - and its rejection at Magdalen. The ideals of the Victorians, still with their half-remembered familiarity, are shown in their buildings - and in their development of the North Oxford suburb. Into this century the influences of Gertrude Jekyll and the Arts and Crafts movement are also seen in Oxford. Mavis Batey's book is an enlightening and intriguing combination of history and anecdote. She tells how the head of one college, to comply with the Founder's rules, was obliged to call his dog a cat; or how Ruskin, when .Slade Professor, took his undergraduates out to build a road - but the only level stretch was made by his gardener; or how Sir Arthur Evans, the excavator of Knossos, raised a vast mound to preserve the view over Matthew Arnold's immemorial landscape, where roamed the Scholar Gipsy and whence the dreaming spires still are seen. Oxford Gardens is illustrated with numerous prints, plans and photographs, including sixteen colour plates." Wrappers faded around spine, otherwise Very Good.
