The English Garden and National Identity: The Competing Styles of Garden Design, 1870-1914 (Modern Architecture and Cultural Identity) Book

Focusing on the wild garden, the cottage garden, the formal garden and the synthesis of the formal and natural styles, Anne Helmreich argues that design principles were indelibly shaped by the quest for a powerful English national identity.
