In seventeenth-century France, land took on new importance for the practice of politics and rituals of court life. In her major new book, Chandra Mukerji highlights the connections between the two seemingly disparate activities of engineering and garden design. She shows how, at Versailles in particular, the royal park showcased French skills in using nature and art to design a distinctively French landscape and create a naturalized political territoriality. She challenges the association of state power with social and legal structures alone and demonstrates the importance for Louis XIV and his state of a controlled physical site, a demarcated French territory within the wider European geo-political continent.

"Versailles, Nymphenburg, Hampton Court, Schonbrunn, Het Loo - some of the most famous gardens in history were created by European royalty during the last three hundred years. This fascinating and wide-ranging network of historically influential, recently restored, and contemporary gardens from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Austria, Belgium, Russia, Sweden, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland, Denmark, and Spain is collected for the first time in Royal Gardens of Europe. A lavishly illustrated volume, it includes not only well-known gardens such as Charlottenburg and Peterhof, much admired for their splendor, but also lesser-known landscapes created by royalty in recent decades - gardens that are just as impressive as their predecessors, but that set out to create intimacy rather than extravagant display."--BOOK JACKET.

Marie-Antoinette has been idolized as the height of eighteenth-century French style and vilified as the spark that ignited the French Revolution. This book departs from such traditional interpretations of the infamous queen’s reign and chooses to reflect on the humanistic aspects of her private realm. To escape the formalities and royal obligations of Louis XVI’s court, Marie-Antoinette created a private realm of pleasure for herself at the Petit Trianon and Hameau, where she planted the first Anglo-Chinese garden; created a trysting grotto; a working farm; and revolutionized architecture and gardening trends for the century to come. Marie-Antoinette’s entire private domain and its story are told in beautiful photographic detail by François Halard for the first time since its recent restoration and accompanied by well-researched texts by garden expert Christian Duvernois.
