What is landscape? What does it mean to us and why? What kind of ideas, ideals and forms do we associate with it, and how did our conceptions of it develop and change throughout time? This book deals with such basic questions of landscape research in frame of a European comparison. Through the examples of England, France, Germany and Hungary it presents the diversity of current European landscape perceptions and explains its multiple cultural-historical roots.
