Ms. Darian-Smith explores the relationship between law and the\nconcept of "landscapes, "which she describes as the spatial imagery\nthrough which law is conceived and from which it draws meaning.\nShe first defines the complex and historically rich concept of the\n"garden image," both in general and as it is seen in (and by)\nEngland, its people, and its surrounding political, cultural, and\nspatial contexts. In general terms, the garden image is injected into\nissues of environmental law. Further, she notes that the garden has\nbeen a fluid, ever-changing concept for England's society and its\ndeveloping legal system. Specifically, Darian-Smith focuses on a\nrecent development regarding the interaction between the law, the\ngarden, and spatial imagery in England: she argues that the new\nChannel Tunnel between England and France undermines\nEngland's identity as an island nation, in effect physically and\nsymbolically severing its claim as the bounded "Garden of\nEngland." Such a development, Darian-Smith argues, is a symbol\nof the eroding of an English identity traditionally thought to be\ndistinct and separate from Europe and its influences, a notion\nanalogous to the way European Community law and English law\nhave been meshed together in environmental issues.
