While the French, who lived under tyranny, had a tightly organized, restrictive gardens, the \"free\" English enjoyed gardens where they were at liberty to wander. John Dixon Hunt examines eighteenth-century letters, literary and critical works, biographies, paintings, prints, and drawings to trace the gradual movement from formal regularity toward a carefully calculated naturalness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Dixon Hunt\u003c\/b\u003e is director of the Center for Studies in Landscape Architecture at Dumbarton Oaks.
