Under the vaulted auspices of series editor Christopher Dyer, this title represents volume three of three on landscape studies after W.G. Hoskins, whose seminal The Making of the English Landscape was first published in 1955. This title focuses on the British landscape after 1500 to the Victorian period, demonstrating how scholars are developing the subject conceptually, studying the landscape as an artifact that was perceived differently by different groups within society. Editors and contributors Barnwell (historic environment, Oxford) and Palmer (English Heritage, the Council for British Archaeology, and the National Trust) provide fifteen essays divided into sections on rural landscapes, urban landscapes, and landscapes perceived. Paper topics include placing vernacular buildings into a landscape context, recognizing people and place in the modern landscape, Hoskins and historical ecology, the suburbanization of the English landscape, and making and representation of the hunting landscape. The geographic range includes Oxfordshire, the Midlands, Croyden, Chester, Yorkshire, Wales, and the Peak District. Students and scholars of landscape history or archaeology in the post-Medieval or Early Modern period will undoubtedly find this title a valuable resource.
