Why do we so often connect our childhoods with gardens? Why has the myth of a lost Eden been so ubiquitous and so formative? \u003ci\u003eThe Green Fuse: Essays in Making Sense of Gardens\u003c\/i\u003e explores our deep-rooted impulses to create gardens, examining them through the lenses of history, religion, nostalgia, and myth. It connects gardens with the other arts--painting, music, literature, and theater--and contemplates their intellectual and philosophical significance. Blending lyrical reflections with research, \u003ci\u003eThe Green Fuse\u003c\/i\u003e offers an unusually wide-ranging and thoughtful perspective on gardens and why we make them. It will be ideal for all readers interested in gardening and its cultural implications.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Dale\u003c\/b\u003e lives in Essex, United Kingdom.
