Summary:

"The Picturesque is most widely recognized today as an art and architectural historical category whose monuments can be identified by a loose, informal look and a style incorporating overt references to other arts. In these probing essays, Sidney Robinson returns to the Picturesque in its late eighteenth-century English phase and examines its various qualities, patterns, and manifestations." -- Provided by publisher.
