Kew Gardens The history of the botanical garden goes back to 1759, when Princess Augusta, mother of king George III, started developing a 3.6 ha large garden at the domain of White Lodge, Richmond in west London with the help of gardener William Aiton and botanist Lord Bute. William Chambers designed several structures for the garden, including the orangery and the pagoda. The botanical garden actually occupied just a small part of the garden, the rest was designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown.

Kew Gardens In 1772 King George III inherited Princess Augusta’s garden after he had already inherited George II’s country house in Kew, a three hectare large estate near the botanical garden. George III decided to join the two royal domains and he put Joseph Banks in charge of enlarging and planting the combined gardens. Joseph Banks had just returned from his journey around the world with Captain Cook and had collected a large amount of exotic plants on his trip. During his tenure at Kew, Banks established Kew Garden‘s reputation as one of the leading horticultural research centers in the world. The garden would continue to expand over the years.

Kew Gardens In 1841 the Kew Gardens were donated to the state. Soon after, several large greenhouses were added such as the famous Palm House and the Temperate House. The large vistas were also created during this time. In July 2003 Kew Gardens was put on the UNESCO World Heritage list thanks to the historical importance of the garden and its many unique edifices.

Plot “Kew Gardens” was first published in 1919 by Hogarth Press. Highly representative of Woolf’s stream-of-consciousness style, it has been anthologized many times since its publication. In the story, four groups of people are walking in Kew Gardens in July. Each character seems lost in his or her own reminiscences. Despite walking with someone in Kew Gardens, the narrator emphasizes ways in which their thoughts are their own. The story reflects Woolf’s keen insight into what it means to be human.

Characters Four different groups of people: Simon and Eleanor William and an elder man Two ponderous elderly women of lower middle class A young man and a young woman named Trissie Think of the past. Expressions and actions and conversations.

Comments Virginia Woolf use the writing style of impressionism, painter-like strokes, presents the reader with a Impressionist Kew. The novel breakthrough in traditional novel’s detention. There is no main character, no story, just some superimposed impressions fragments. 印象主义的写作手法,以画家般的笔触,向读者呈现了一个印象派的邱园。本篇小说突破了传统小说的禁锢,没有主要人物,没有故事情节,有的只是印象的片段的叠加。

Thank you!
