This is an optional unit offered in Teaching Block 2. It will explore the network of relationships between British gardens and their counterparts on the continent of Europe and in Ireland. Each seminar will focus on a particular theme, including the sources of continental ideas in British garden design; the influence of Classical ideas via the Grant Tour; the English landscape garden in Germany as exemplified at W"rlitz and in the work of Schinkel, Lenn� and Sckell; the gardens of wealthy Britons along the Rivieras and elsewhere in sunny climates; the Irish landscape garden as a parallel experience; and more broadly the ambivalence of British responses to European design ideas compared with, for example, successive waves of Anglomania in various parts of Europe.
