Landscape has been central to definitions of Englishness for centuries. This book argues that, in fact, landscape has been the site where English visions of the past, present & future have met in debates over questions of national identity, disputes over history & modernity, & ideals of citizenship & the body. Extensively illustrated, the book draws on a wide range of materials, including topographical guides, health manuals, paintings, poetry, architectural polemic, photography, nature guides & novels. The author first examines the inter-war period, showing how a vision of Englishness & landscape as both modern & traditional, urban & rural, progressive & preservationist, took shape around debates over building in the countryside, the replanning of cities, & the cultures of leisure & citizenship. He concludes by tracing out the story of landscape & Englishness to the present day, showing how the familiar terms of debate regarding landscape & heritage are a product of the immediate post-war era, & asking how current arguments over care for the environment or expressions of the nation resonate with earlier histories & geographies. ...

The Landscape of Britain has a uniquely rich historical diversity. Reed explains the processes at work in the evolution of the landscape, pointing out examples of surviving evidence from the past. The landscape of late twentieth-century Britain is the end product of some ten thousand years of human effort directed not only towards satisfying basic physical needs for food & shelter, but also towards expressing profound spiritual & intellectual aspirations, whether by means of burial mounds or churches, schools or monasteries. Michael Reed shows how each generation makes its own individual contribution without being able entirely to erase those of its predecessors, however remote or distant in time. ...
