The landscape park which reached its climax with Humphry Repton in England and Prince Pückler in Germany should not merely be understood as an increase of the natural and an expression of liberal ideas. Evidence rather shows that the standardized vocabulary of garden architectural forms is subordinate to a different notion—namely the desire for privacy. This book is intended to tracking down this exclusiveness of country house and palace gardens which can be seen in the belts, in other protective plantations, in walls, fences, ditches, the appropriation of land, the undulating ground, the paths, the pleasure ground near the house and the gardens within.
‘... [I] recommend this book for the—though more advanced—study of the topic; its wise central idea can give new impetus to the specialist discussion.’ Grüner Anzeiger
