    Abstract

    This chapter presents a way of approaching the garden designs of William Kent (1685-1748) that focuses on his experiences in Rome and his subsequent position within the musical and theatrical milieu of Lord Burlington. It explores the influence of Italian set design upon the garden style that Kent introduced to England in the 1720s, and go from there to the wider question of the 'theatricality' of the English Baroque garden.
