Embroidering the Landscape: Women, Art and the Environment in British North America, 1740-1770
No Customer Reviews
This book investigates how and why women pictured the landscape in their needlework. It explores the ways their embroidered landscapes address the tumultuous environmental history of the period; how their depictions of nature differ from those made by men; and what women's choices of motifs can tell us about their lives and their relationships to nature. This book enhances our understanding of the relationship between culture and the environment in this period and raises new questions about the unrecognized extent of women's engagement with nature and natural science.
