A History of Garden Art
Marie Luise Gothein (1863-1931) published this scholarly two-volume history of garden design in German in 1913. Its second edition of 1925 was translated into English by Laura Archer-Hind, edited by gardening author Walter P. Wright (1864-1940), and published in 1928. The highly illustrated work is still regarded as among the most thorough and important surveys of its kind. It begins by examining evidence from both archaeology and literature, as well as climate and soil conditions, to discuss the gardens of ancient Egypt and Assyria, and continues to survey developments worldwide until the twentieth century. Individual gardens, technical innovations, and fashions in horticulture are all discussed in detail. Volume 1 surveys the ancient civilisations of the Near East, Greece and Rome, discusses Byzantine and Islamic gardens, and the importance of monastery gardens in western Europe, and ends with a review of gardening in Europe during the Renaissance.

Indian Gardens

Im Schaffen geniessen
Briefwechsel zwischen Eheleuten sind etwas Besonderes, gewähren sie uns doch intime Einblicke in zwei eng verbundene Lebensläufe. Wenn dieser Austausch über vierzig Jahre besteht und die beiden sich, sofern getrennt voneinander, fast täglich schreiben, reflektieren die persönlichen Zeugnisse zudem ein Panorama ihrer Zeit. Eberhard Gothein, Kulturhistoriker und Nationalökonom, war einer der letzten Vertreter der goethezeitlichen Bildungswelt, der enzyklopädische Bildung mit einem bemerkenswerten Aktivismus verband. Seine Frau Marie Luise, ebenfalls aus dem gehobenen Bürgertum stammend, bildete sich autodidaktisch zu einer eigenständigen wissenschaftlichen Persönlichkeit aus. In ihrer außergewöhnlichen Korrespondenz kommen neben persönlichen Befindlichkeiten und Erlebnissen auch kontroverse Standpunkte zu kulturellen und gesellschaftlichen Themen zur Sprache. Gerade in diesen geistigen Auseinandersetzungen liegt der besondere Reiz der Briefe, die nun erstmals vollständig editiert und kommentiert vorliegen.
