A classic account of how landscape has been central to questions of ‘Englishness’ – of national identity, history and modernity, as well as concepts of citizenship and the body.

Landscape has been central to deﬁnitions of Englishness for centuries. David Matless argues that landscape has been the site where English visions of the past, present and future have met in debates over questions of national identity, disputes over history and modernity, and ideals of citizenship and the body.
Landscape and Englishness is extensively illustrated and draws on a wide range of material – topographical guides, health manuals, paintings, poetry, architectural polemic, photography, nature guides and novels. This edition contains a new preface by the author.

David Matless is Professor of Cultural Geography at the University of Nottingham. His many books include Landscape and Englishness (Reaktion Books, 1998, Revised Edition 2016).
