Paul Readman (King's College London)

Gebundenes Buch

Storied Ground

Beschreibung

People have always attached meaning to the landscape that surrounds them. This exploration of modern Englishness shows how it is not just linked to the usual pastoral idyll of chocolate-box thatched cottages and waving fields of corn, but is found in diverse locations - urban and rural, and north and south.
