    John Dixon Hunt's biography takes a fresh look at the life and work of one of England's greatest diarists, focusing particularly on the seventeenth-century notion of "domesticity". He explores Evelyn's domestic life and, more importantly, the domestication of foreign ideas and practices in England. From his early, extensive European travels, Evelyn imbibed ideas above all on the management of estate design and developed an under-standing of how to explore English topography. The book puts Evelyn's great accomplishment-- making European garden art available in the UK-- into context alongside a range of social and ethical ideas. Illustrated with visual material from Evelyn's time and often from his own pen, this is an ideal introduction to a seventeenth-century figure of huge importance in early modern Britain
