- Comments : p.1 “This book is about how scholars have thought, and are thinking, about landscape. It is about how scholars have interpreted past landscapes; it takes as it primary focus the work of historical archaeologists working in the ‘English landscape tradition,’ though we shall find other archaeologists, prehistorians, anthropologists, geologists, geographers, historians and others – even poets and artists – entering the scene from time to time, and I hope that its conclusions will be of interest to a much wider audience. ... Part of the problem with writing a general book about landscape interpretation has been its double nature. Landscape studies are simultaneously one of the most fashionable and avant-garde areas of scholarly enquiry, and also, paradoxically, one of the most theoretically dormant areas.”
