- Summary:
- In sixteenth century England, extravagant formal gardens reached their peak of invention, with not only roses, honeysuckle and herbs, but the addition of canals, mazes, and aviaries. Much of the inspiration was competition for the attention of Queen Elizabeth I by two of her courtiers, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester and William Cecil, Baron of Burghley. Martyn, who has taught garden history at Birbeck College and landscape history at Central St. Martins School of Art, tells the tale and closes with an epilogue that brings it to date, infusing it with some of her own story.
