Abstract
Designed landscapes
0
Special section on designed landscapes, including
Pre-existing trees and woods in country-house parks
Oliver Rackham
1 - 16
the successive types of parks -- deer-farms, hunting parks, ornamental ``landscape'' parks, municipal parks -- were each formed out of a previous landscape, removing samples of countryside from the normal pressures of agriculture and preserving much of the trees, vegetation, and antiquities of the previous landscape. The article deals with two different components of these relict landscapes: trees and woodland. It discusses how each was incorporated into parks, what new functions, values, and meanings they acquired, and what happened to them
Designed landscapes: the regional dimension
Tom Williamson
16 - 25
looks at the ways in which different styles of design were adapted to local circumstances, including consideration of the principal aesthetic and social concerns of designers and landowners; the cultural and ideological dimension in relation to the character of English provincial society; and analysis of soil types and farming regions
Victorian and Edwardian institutional landscapes in England
Sarah Rutherford
25 - 41
considers the vast increase during the nineteenth century in the type and number of residential institutions to rehabilitate the socially disadvantaged, such as lunatic asylums and other specialist hospitals, workhouses and orphanages, all provided with purpose-built buildings and landscapes. The article provides an overview and comparison of these types, and briefly examines the influences on their genesis including the historic significance and distinctiveness of their designed landscapes
`Grass, grass, grass': fox-hunting and the creation of the modern landsca...
Jonathan Finch
41 - 52
uses fox-hunting as an example of how the cultural and social aspects of the modern landscape have been neglected in historic landscape studies. Hunting did not create monumental landscape features, yet it was intimately connected to landscape change and management and is an example of how these processes were linked to cultural practices
Were there designed landscapes in medieval Ireland?
Tadhg O'Keefe
52 - 68
attempts to interpret the medieval Irish landscape in terms of pleasure and intellect, rather than of political and ethnic conflict, principally through a critique of current literature but also by a brief presentation of two designed landscapes of c. 1300
Churches and symbolic power in the Irish landscape
Martin Maguire
91 - 113
The article seeks to place churches in the Irish landscape and to understand them as part of the landscape of belief and as contested symbols of power and authority. It discusses how churches have been and continue to be used to assert ownership of the landscape and to control the interpretation of place, from the era of the early Christian communities to modern campaigners who use churches as symbols of endangered heritage.
