Elizabeth Hyde’s Cultivated Power: Flowers, Culture, and Politics in the Reign of Louis XIV has received the 2007 Elisabeth Blair MacDougall Award by the Society of Architectural Historians "for the most distinguished work of scholarship in the history of landscape architecture or garden design."
Cultivated Power is part of our Penn Studies in Landscape Architecture series, which also recently won a prize. The American Society of Landscape Architects gave the series its 2006 Communications Award of Honor and praised the books for their huge breadth and impact.
Congratulations to Hyde and the other fine authors in the Penn Studies in Landscape Architecture series, and to Series Editor John Dixon Hunt.
