Jane Austen and the English Landscape - Hardcover
Synopsis
Landscape historian Batey explores real and fictional settings of Austen's novels. In each chapter she uses a different Austen novel to discuss the style of gardens and landscapes during the early 19th century and Regency England. A continuing theme is the tension between Georgian propriety and the challenging Romantic ideals as they played out in the English landscape. Photos and reproductions of paintings supplement the text. 10.75x10.5" Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

From the Publisher
A vital insight into JAs views on landscape design in 1800s
Mavis Batey shows how Jane Austen's characters reveal the prejudices of the day and how JA felt about the new theories of Romanticism versus Classicism in landscape design of the early 1800s. Penelope Fitzgerald wrote:'She writes clearly and persuasively on subjects she knows through and through, and her expertly chosen illustrations really do illustrate.'
