Summary note
"Landscape and History since 1500 draws on material from social, economic and cultural history, environmental history, the history of art, historical geography, archaeology and planning; but it is grounded in landscape history and historical/cultural geography, with its focus specifically on rural landscapes. This unusual breadth of coverage within one book means that landscape change in British, European and wider contexts is explored from many angles. Thus the inter-relationships between historical trends and landscapes, particularly the effects of cultural, demographic, economic, environmental and political shifts, are accounted for in a myriad of examples, from 19th-century Scotland to colonial Virginia, from the East Anglian Fens to Egypt and India. In addition, the author charts changing perceptions and portrayals of landscape in paintings, poetry, novels and cartography." "For this book the author has brought together the latest research in many disciplines, making Landscape and History since 1500 both a valuable source for scholars within various fields and a brilliant introduction to the subject for students and general readers alike."--Jacket.
