William Robinson. Bisgrove, R. William Robinson. The Wild Gardener.
1st. Ed. Pub. Frances Lincoln. 2008 pp.256 with colour and b/w. photos and illus. 4to. Fine hardback in fine dw. Out-of-print.
Highly recommended. Despite his enormous literary output and position at the centre of a circle of distinguished horticulturists, William Robinson is a surprisingly enigmatic figure. Generous to friends and retainers but ferocious in his attacks on opponents, a populariser rather than a pioneer, he was undoubtedly one of the greatest figures in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century gardening.
