Ireland and the Picturesque: Design, Landscape Painting, and Tourism, 1700-1840

That Ireland is picturesque is a well-worn cliche, but little is understood of how this perception was created, painted and manipulated during the long eighteenth century. This book positions Ireland at core of the picturesque's development and argues for a greater degree of Irish influence on the course of European landscape theory and design.
