Ruined by Design: Shaping Novels and Gardens in the Culture of Sensibility

Ruined by Design: Shaping Novels and Gardens in the Culture of Sensibility By examining the motif of ruination in a variety of late-eighteenth-century domains, this book portrays the moral aesthetic of the culture of sensibility in Europe, particularly its negotiation of the demands of tradition and pragmatism alongside utopian longings for authenticity, natural goodness, self-governance, mutual transparency, and instantaneous kinship.
