Inhaltsangabe
'No one before has ever brought out with quite the same vividness the historical background of the country all around us' - "Guardian" - a classic of English landscape history, reissued in its fiftieth anniversary year. First published in 1955 by Hodder, "The Making Of The English Landscape" is a classic of English history. It was the first book to study, literally, the history of the landscape, and also the first to explode the myth that the English landscape was 'formed by enclosures'. Instead W. G. Hoskins traces the beauty and oddities of the English landscape further back, from pre-Roman times to the seventeenth century and beyond. Hoskins explains the layers of history in the landscape by taking the reader with him along Devonshire lanes, past lost villages in Lincolnshire, and through the pastures of upland Northamptonshire. This is a delightful book, readable and scholarly, which has been much-loved by readers for the past fifty years.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
W.G. Hoskins was born in Exeter in 1908. He ended his career as Professor of English Local History at the University of Leicester, head of the first department devoted to the field of study he helped found - local and landscape history. He was also Reader in Economic History at the University of Oxford, a Fellow of the Royal Academy and a CBE. His book THE MAKING OF THE ENGLISH LANDSCAPE was made into a BBC series in the 1970s and is widely acknowledged as a classic. In its obituary of him, the Independent wrote that 'his books will always preserve the record of a colourful and genial personality with a seeing eye and a flowing pen.'
