Summary:

Parks have been an inseparable part of England's way of life for nearly a thousand years. Why and how this has happened is a fascinating story, gradually unfolded in this major study of the subject. The medieval deer park, the country house landscape park, the royal parks of London, and the more recent municipal parks, are seen as links in a chain. Susan Lasdun draws on many literary sources, in prose and verse, as well as using historical documentation revealing their long historical importance.
