No leading courtier would be without his great house, and no great house was complete without its garden. In this richly illustrated work, Jane Whitaker explores these gems of Elizabethan England, focusing on the gardens of the Queen and her leading courtiers. Drawing on the cultural and horticultural sources of the day, as well as evidence surviving on the ground, she recreates these lost gardens, revealing both the rich and Renaissance culture that underlay them and the sumptuous world of the Elizabethan aristocracy. The result is an evocation of one of the most opulent reigns in English history and an entertaining and informative study of one of the most interesting periods of garden history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 640g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 149 x 222 x 32 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781788311199                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jane Whitaker","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44094169907450,"sku":"9781788311199","price":37.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/abd68fa2623c279045a664d3e43f3811.jpg?v=1624585381","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/gardens-for-gloriana-wealth-splendour-and-design-in-the-elizabethan-garden","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
