Dmitry Likhachev: The Poetry of Gardens A masterwork by one of the 20th century’s greatest philologists, this book is not a simple history of garden design or a catalogue of famous parks. Instead, Dmitry Likhachev examines garden styles as reflections of the artistic consciousness of different eras and cultures. He argues that each epoch produces a “style of the age” that manifests equally in poetry and in the arrangement of gardens. By exploring how poets and gardeners share common stylistic formations, Likhachev reveals the deep connections between verse and landscape—how both express the same ideas and ideals of their time. The book also pays special attention to the role of garden art in the works of individual poets. A unique, interdisciplinary study for anyone interested in literature, art history, or the philosophy of beauty.
