The picturesque names a body of theories and conventions that developed around the problem of how landscape is seen. As this collection argues, it gives fresh routes into the literature, art, society and culture of its period.

The volume brings together essays by scholars from a range of disciplines in Britain and America. The contributors take historically and theoretically demanding approaches to the subject, bringing a variety of methods to it.
