Friedrich Nietzsche, Kritische Studienausgabe, eds. Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari (Berlin: de Gruyter, 1980) 4: 14.

Paul Shepard, Man in the Landscape: A Historic View of the Aesthetics of Nature [1967] (College Station: Texas A&M P, 1991).

For a classic account of this shift in taste, see Marjorie Hope Nicolson, Mountain Gloom and Mountain Glory: The Development of the Aesthetics of the Infinite (Ithaca, NY: Cornell UP, 1959).

Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, What is Philosophy?, trans. Hugh Tomlinson and Graham Burchell (New York: Columbia UP, 1994) 85; A Thousand Plateaus, trans. Brian Massumi (Minneapolis: U of Minnesota P, 1987) 316.

See, for example, Paul Oskar Kristeller, “The Modern System of the Arts” in Renaissance Thought and the Arts (Princeton: Princeton UP, 1950); and, more recently, Larry Shiner, The Invention of Art: A Cultural History (Chicago: U of Chicago P, 2001).

John Brinckerhoff Jackson, Discovering the Vernacular Landscape (New Haven: Yale UP, 1984) 3, 8.

Jackson, Discovering the Vernacular Landscape 151–52.

See Martin van Creveld, The Rise and Decline of the State (Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 1999), who points out that the “Western European feudal system that followed the collapse of the Carolingian empire – itself a short‐lived attempt to impose order on the disorder resulting from the barbarian invasion that had destroyed Rome – was decentralized even by the standards of similar regimes elsewhere” (59).

Jackson, Discovering the Vernacular Landscape 152.

A Thousand Plateaus 453–54.

Ibid.

Jackson, Discovering the Vernacular Landscape 13. I have added the alternative of “subjects”; Jackson, focusing on the example of the USA (and perhaps other Western countries) is thinking of nondespotic, relatively democratic forms, but the conceptual apparatus of A Thousand Plateaus comprehends a much more diverse range of deterritorialized states.

Jackson, Discovering the Vernacular Landscape 149.

Jackson, Discovering the Vernacular Landscape 154.

Michel Foucault, “Different Spaces” in Essential Works of Foucault, ed. Paul Rabinow (New York: New Press, 1998) 2: 175–85.

Van Creveld, The Rise and Decline of the State 336–421.

See Steven Nadler, Spinoza: A Life (New York: Cambridge UP, 1999).

See Gary Shapiro, Archaeologies of Vision: Foucault and Nietzsche on Seeing and Saying (Chicago: U of Chicago P, 2003) 293–317.

Francesco Colonna, Hypnerotomachia Polyphilii, trans. Jocelyn Godwin (New York: Thames, 1999); Liane Lefaivre, Leon Battista Alberti's Hypnerotomachia Polyphilii (Cambridge, MA: MIT P, 1997). The authorship of the book is in doubt; Lefaivre's study has important suggestions for an embodied, earthly reading of this esoteric and influential text.

See Alan Weiss, Mirrors of Infinity: The French Formal Garden and Seventeenth Century Metaphysics (New York: Princeton Architectural P, 1995).

Michel Foucault, The Order of Things, trans. Alan Sheridan (New York: Random, 1970) 303–43.

For selections from major texts dealing with the English garden, see John Dixon Hunt and Peter Willis (eds.), The Genius of the Place (Cambridge, MA: MIT P, 1988).
