Capability Brown : designing the English landscape
Lancelot 'Capability' Brown's designs are organic, weaving gestures of colour and perspective into the features that the country already afforded. So natural are his designs, and so perfectly do they complement the houses within them, that for many a Capability Brown landscape is the epitome of the English estate. His gardens and parklands as much as the houses themselves would become icons of British country life. Published to coincide with the tercentenary of his birth, this book illuminates fifteen of Brown's most celebrated landscapes. Including rarely seen archival drawings that shed light on Brown's process, this book serves as a guide to Britain's most beloved landscapes and an exploration of the masterful mind behind their creation.

Place-making : the art of Capability Brown
'This book by John Phibbs adds to the corpus of authoritative texts published by Historic England. [...] The book is supported by an extensive 45-page glossary - useful for explaining the main text or as a stand-alone quick reference. [...] Whilst the book is about one of our most influential landscape designers, it is also relevant to those who appreciate and care for historic buildings.' Michael F. Garber, Fenland & Wash regional group.
