On our selection: class, gender and the domestic garden in nineteenth-century Australia

On our selection: class, gender and the domestic garden in nineteenth-century Australia Abstract Much of the work that considers the cultural meaning of gardens has centred around the larger 'historic' gardens of the middling and upper classes. These are frequently gardens, which are still in existence and for which plans, or at least detailed planting records, still exist. There are fewer records, fewer remnants, and fewer reminiscences, for the gardens of the lower classes, and such gardens tend to be smaller, more mutable, more easily erased. Reading what remains — diaries, council records, a few remnant plantings — leads into a perilous realm of speculation and reconstruction. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes Taylor & Francis

Abstract

Abstract Much of the work that considers the cultural meaning of gardens has centred around the larger 'historic' gardens of the middling and upper classes. These are frequently gardens, which are still in existence and for which plans, or at least detailed planting records, still exist. There are fewer records, fewer remnants, and fewer reminiscences, for the gardens of the lower classes, and such gardens tend to be smaller, more mutable, more easily erased. Reading what remains — diaries, council records, a few remnant plantings — leads into a perilous realm of speculation and reconstruction.
