TY - JOUR T1 - Crying “Taste” in the Wilderness: The Disciples of Andrew Jackson Downing in Georgia JF - Landscape Journal SP - 15 LP - 22 DO - 10.3368/lj.1.1.15 VL - 1 IS - 1 AU - Catherine Howett Y1 - 1982/03/20 UR - http://lj.uwpress.org/content/1/1/15.abstract N2 - Beginning with the 1841 publication of his Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening, Adapted to North America, the writings of Andrew Jackson Downing have had a powerfully formative effect on the practice of architecture and landscape gardening in this country. Regional responses to Downing's theories, however, tended to be idiosyncratic; this study examines evidence of their influence in antebellum Georgia, where a small group of individuals — some of whom were related to a mid-century movement for agricultural reform — chose to follow them in preference to dominant regional styles.
