Förlagets beskrivning
Urban parks are one of the most enduring and valued features of the British city. This book traces the social and cultural history of such parks from the Victorian period and beyond, placing the urban park in the context of the evolving city and examining the importance of green space to the urban citizen during that historical period. The use of hitherto unpublished primary source material, combined with the analysis of visual representations of the urban park in guidebooks and postcards, introduces new themes and enhances our understanding of the social, cultural and economic significance of these public spaces
