This anthology encompasses both the perception of land and the creation of landscape from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. It demonstrates the major trends in the representation of the English Landscape throughout the early modern period through a series of chronological sections looking at work from Moore to Coleridge. Bending and McRae draw together poetry, prose and visual images to illustrate changing patterns in the representation and aesthetics of the countryside in the early modern period. Combining well-known works with enlightening but previously neglected material, this anthology is placed within the context of the social and aesthetic construction of landscape.
