本书探讨了革命思想如何融入景观设计之中，涵盖了自由、平等、改良和殖民主义等主题。

 

从1688年英国光荣革命的规划景观，到1776年的美国革命，再到1798年的爱尔兰叛乱，本书还穿插了对革命时期法国的探讨，追溯了18世纪大西洋世界财产结构和景观设计的比较历史，以及帝国意识形态内部种植园和改良概念的演变。诸如让-雅克·卢梭、乔治·华盛顿、阿瑟·杨、爱德华·菲茨杰拉德勋爵和皮尔斯·巴特勒等革命者建造了房屋、农场和园林——其中许多如今已被遗忘或被有选择地忽视。这些推翻了社会等级制度的新共和国和革命者，是如何将他们的原则转化为空间形式的？

 

随着18世纪的改良思想被应用于各种跨大西洋的和存在奴隶制度的环境中，新的景观设计应运而生——从都柏林的郊区延伸到佐治亚州的海岛。然而，这些关于平等和自由的革命思想往往与现实相矛盾，特别是在传统的大型土地庄园（这是整个欧洲贵族权力的基石）的设计与农场和种植园的设计相交汇的地方。

 

Explores how revolutionary ideas were translated into landscape design, encompassing liberty, equality, improvement and colonialism

 

Spanning the designed landscapes of England’s Glorious Revolution of 1688, the American Revolution of 1776 and the Irish rebellion of 1798, with some detours into revolutionary France, this book traces a comparative history of property structures and landscape design across the eighteenth-century Atlantic world and evolving concepts of plantation and improvement within imperial ideology. Revolutionaries such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, George Washington, Arthur Young, Lord Edward FitzGerald and Pierce Butler constructed houses, farms and landscape gardens—many of which have since been forgotten or selectively overlooked. How did the new republics and revolutionaries, having overthrown social hierarchies, translate their principles into spatial form?

 

As the eighteenth-century ideology of improvement was applied to a variety of transatlantic and enslaved environments, new landscape designs were created—stretching from the suburbs of Dublin to the sea islands of the state of Georgia. Yet these revolutionary ideas of equality and freedom often contradicted reality, particularly where the traditional design of the great landed estate—the building block of aristocratic power throughout Europe—intersected with that of the farm and the plantation.
