Four French consorts?queen Marie-Antoinette and empresses Joséphine Bonaparte, Marie-Louise and Eugénie?constructed their gardens betwixt and between court ritual and personal agency, where they transgressed sociopolitical boundaries in order to perform gender and identity politics. Each patron endorsed embodied strolling, promoting an awareness of the sentient body in artfully contrived sensoria at the Petit Trianon and Malmaison, transforming these places into spaces of shared affectivity. The gardens became living legacies, where female agency, excluded from the garden history canon, created a forum for spatial politics. Beyond the garden gates, the spatial experience of the picturesque influenced the development of cultural fields dedicated to performances of subjectivity, including landscape design, cultural geography and the origination of landscape aesthetics in France. 410 0$aSpatial imageries in historical perspective ;$vVolume 3. 606 $aGardens, French 606 $aHistory of design 606 $aHorticulture 615 0$aGardens, French. 615 0$aHistory of design. 615 0$aHorticulture. 676 $a712.0944 700 $aTaylor-Leduc$b Susan$01661855 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816313803321 996 $aMarie-Antoinette's Legacy$94018032 997 $aUNINA
