Not illustrated. 1862 edition. Excerpt: ... Chapter viii. "wreaths. 1. Wreaths of mixed flowers are difficult to manage. A delicate eye for combining colour, and the lightest of hands for arranging flowers, are required to prevent their turning out clumsy garlands. Few things, however, are more worthy of a little pains being taken in acquiring the knack of making them; this, too, is done so easily; they are so pretty, so many like them, and often they give such pleasure to those who have not seen them, or who do not know how to make them for themselves. The flowers, too, are so very few and simple which, are required for them. It is, indeed, an expensive mistake to fancy that so many flowers and such grand kinds are wanted. For the hair, even, and for the dress, how well I remember those charming simple little gracieuses wreaths--Ivy, or evergreen Rose leaves, or Myrtle, and beautiful dark or silvered foliage, a few Snowdrops, or some drooping Deutzia--that little flower like a delicate white Ribes; a few pale blue Harebells, single Hepaticas, Scillas, or bells of waxen Hyacinths; Pansies again, and Roses, Azaleas amongst the fairest, and the exquisite Chinese Honeysuckle, and little sprays of Lilac. Two or three waving Fern leaves and bunches of drooping Snowdrops, the Snowdrops sprinkled here and there amongst the smaller Fern leaves as well as at the sides--what can be prettier, and what can he more easily arranged? 2. In the mixed wreaths, too, where a line of some dark evergreen supports little knots of flowers, perhaps white and red Geraniums, mixed with their own small soft velvet leaves--expanding at the sides into a waving plume, or rising in the centre into a crown of flowers---are amongst the best. The easiest, I think, to make, are those of one flower, and they are...

This volume is number one of a six volume collection that brings together primary sources on gardens and gardening across the long nineteenth-century. Economic expansion, empire, the growth of the middle classes and suburbia, the changing role of women and the professionalisation of gardening, alongside industrialisation and the development of leisure and mass markets were all elements that contributed to and were influenced by the evolution of gardens. It is a subject that is both global and multidisciplinary and this set provides the reader with a variety of ways in which to read gardens – through recognition of how they were conceived and experienced as they developed. Material is primarily derived from Britain, with Europe, USA, Australia, India, China and Japan also featuring, and sources include the gardening press, the broader press, government papers, book excerpts and some previously unpublished material.
Since the 1990s, in response to dramatic transformations in the worlds of technology and the economy, design - a once relatively definable discipline, complete with a set of sub-disciplines - has become unrecognizable. Consequently, design scholars have begun to address new issues, themes and sub-disciplines such as: sustainable design, design for well-being, empathic design, design activism, design anthropology, and many more. The Routledge Companion to Design Studies charts this new expanded spectrum and embraces the wide range of scholarship relating to design - theoretical, practice-related and historical - that has emerged over the last four decades. Comprised of forty-three newly-commissioned essays, the Companion is organized into the following six sections: Defining Design: Discipline, Process Defining Design: Objects, Spaces Designing Identities: Gender, Sexuality, Age, Nation Designing Society: Empathy, Responsibility, Consumption, the Everyday Design and Politics: Activism, Intervention, Regulation Designing the World: Globalization, Transnationalism, Translation Contributors include both established and emerging scholars and the essays offer an international scope, covering work emanating from, and relating to, design in the United Kingdom, mainland Europe, North America, Asia, Australasia and Africa. This comprehensive collection makes an original and significant contribution to the field of Design Studies.
