Question 2

How does Leone explain the appearance and popularity of formal Georgian gardens in wealthy Annapolis homes during the mid 18th century?

  b. The gardens expressed the Enlightenment idea of the power of reason over nature, and that nature controlled by culture was more desirable and attractive than nature alone.
  c. Georgian gardens, like any other stylistic choice, came into favor and went out of favor randomly; the gardens had nothing to do with the rest of Georgian culture.
  d. The gardens expressed the ideal of social and economic equality among all people which was popular at the time.
