Farming and Landscape
In Response To: April M.T...and beyond. ()


] Other topics still outstanding include "farming"- we touched on it on the Countryide topic, but it really deserves time on its own. I guess that would have to be sometime after May. Then there's the possibility of doing more Art- we never really tackled landscape, prints and other mass-productions.

Second farming, which we really barely touched on - and certainly did not deal with all the changes that the agricultural revolution was throwing up at the time.

Landscape would be great too, I never did get to use my Repton red book research! I have a work trip scheduled to another House with a Repton laid out landscape scheduled for the summer but I am not sure when yet.

Whilst we touched on landscape briefly in art - with artistic representations, and very briefly in the Countryside MT - it seems to me that to cover the subject properly the physical landscape, the landscape gardeners, poetic and artistic representation of the landscape should be taken together to gain the best understanding of what the landscape meant to JA and her peers.
