Repton worked for a wide variety of clients  notably the dukes of Portland and Bedford  and on many kinds of sites throughout England. He also promoted his profession in extensive writings about the theory and practice of landscape gardening. This book examines Reptons career and work in the context of the changing human geography of his time. Fully illustrated with many previously unpublished pictures  the book charts Reptons vision of England  how his style changed and persisted over time and from place to place  how he influenced his profession  and how he fashioned a social identity for himself.  Stephen Daniels frames Reptons life and work in terms of five domains: the road  the county  the picturesque landscape  the aristocratic estate  and the urban periphery. Focusing on the way these domains shaped Reptons career and how he in turn attempted to shape them  Daniels examines in depth more than twenty representative commissions that delineate Reptons social and spatial theory of landscape. The author casts new light not only on the work of Humphry Repton but also on the role of landscape itself in English culture and society.
