Book Synopsis John Evelyn's "Elysium Britannicum" and European Gardening by : Therese O'Malley
Book excerpt: John Evelyn (1620-1706) was a pivotal figure in 17th-century intellectual life in England. The contributors approach him and his work from diverse disciplines: architectural and intellectual history and histories of science, agriculture, gardens, and literature. They present the "Elysium Britannicum" as a central document of late European humanism.
