Contributors include Charles Watkins on Picturesque Woodland Management, Timothy Clayton on The Print and the Spread of the Picturesque Ideal, John Wilton Ely on Beckford, Fonthill and the Picturesque and Christopher Woodward on the Picturesque in Bath: the End of the Terrace and the Rise of the Villa.
