{"product_id":"gardens-and-gardening-in-early-jill-francis-9780300232080","title":"Gardens and Gardening in Early Modern England and Wales","description":"The extravagant gardens of the 16th- and 17th-century British aristocracy are well-documented and celebrated, but the more modest gardens of the rural county gentry have rarely been examined. Jill Francis presents new, never-before published material as well as fresh interpretations of previously examined sources to reveal gardening as a practical activity in which a broad spectrum of society was engaged - from the laborers who dug, manured, and weeded, to the gentleman owners who sought to create gardens that both exemplified their personal tastes and displayed their wealth and status. Enhanced by beautiful and compelling illustrations, this book contributes to a broader understanding of early modern society and its culture by situating the activity of gardening within the wider social and cultural concerns of the age, reflecting the anxieties, hopes, and aspirations of people at the time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jill Francis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 030023208X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300232080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Mellon Centre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 7.80w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2019","brand":"Jill Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46334407737599,"sku":"9780300232080","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96371ba7-621b-4af8-95d2-545681a34612.jpg?v=1731466755","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gardens-and-gardening-in-early-jill-francis-9780300232080","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
