The picturesque (a set of theories, ideas, and conventions that grew up around the question of how we look at landscape) offers a valuable focus for investigations into eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literary, artistic, social, and cultural history. These essays incorporate a range of historically and theoretically challenging approaches to the topic.
