This is an important book about one of England's most fascinating
regions - Yorkshire. Colin Speakman explores Yorkshire's origin as
an independent Anglo-Viking Kingdom whose capital was York, which
for many centuries was England's second city. Yorkshire was divided
into not one but three ancient counties or shires, East, North and
West Riding, which survived until 1974. The book celebrates the
extraordinary variety of landscapes and rich cultural heritage
through what is described as the nine great 'cultural landscapes'
that make Yorkshire one of the most distinctive and fascinating
regions of England. As an environmentalist, Speakman's interest
lies primarily in the landscapes of the Dales, Moors, Wolds and
South Pennines, but this is blended with an understanding of the
cultural and industrial forces that shaped the landscapes we see
today. But this ground-breaking book also looks ahead to a new post
Brexit, post pandemic world in which the environment takes centre
stage, with the emergence of new greener technologies that promise
new economic prosperity for the people of the region, making a
powerful case for English Devolution to allow Yorkshire to fulfil
its potential within both Britain and Europe.
