Críticas
"In this book we get not only a young American's vivid impressions of midnineteenth century England, but also the first glimmers of Frederick Law Olmsted the observant journalist and future landscape designer. Charles McLaughlin's erudite Introduction usefully puts all this in the proper perspective." - Witold Rybczynski, author of A Clearing in the Distance: Frederick Law Olmsted and America in the Nineteenth Century
Reseña del editor
Before he ever dreamed of becoming a landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) visited southern England and Wales during a month-long walking tour. A gifted writer, he recorded his impressions of the trip in this detailed volume, which has long been out of print. Here, Olmsted is reporter, social analyst, narrator, dramatist, scene-painter and humorist, employing a wide range of modes and styles to give us the sights, sounds and mental impressions of rural England in 1850. Olmsted's narrative is, at turns, poetic, funny, critical and meticulous. It is also an important historical document, revealing the extent to which England permeated almost every aspect of Olmsted's emerging world view, soon to find expression in his various careers as a scientific farmer, author and publisher, social critic, reformer, administrator, and landscape architect of major parks and park systems throughout the USA. The introduction clarifies the links between Olmsted's developing picturesque aesthetic, social conscience and reformer's passion for change. McLaughlin offers a persuasive argument that Olmsted would come to adapt many of the features of the cultivated English countryside - first seen on this trip - in designed landscapes such as New York's Central Park. This edition provides extensive annotations to the original text, furnishing background and context to the people and places Olmsted encountered during his journey. McLaughlin's notes are based on his own trips through England, over a 20-year period, to retrace the author's original route.
