Abstract (en)

Schama argues that our entire landscape tradition is the product of shared culture--that our landscape tradition has been built from a rich deposit of myths, memories and obsessions. He contends it is right to acknowledge that it is our shaping perception that makes the difference between raw matter and landscape.In this history of landscape metaphors from antiquity to the present, Schama makes reference to a wide variety of visual arts, including landscape architecture.
