In 1973, when A New Historical Geography of England was originally
published, it was generally agreed that Professor Darby and his
fellow contributors had produced the authoritative historical
geography of England. That volume now appears as a paperback in two
separate books. The division has been made at 1600. Chapters
describing the landscape at particular periods are alternate with
others that narrate and explain the successive changes. This book
takes the story of the development of the English landscape through
the agricultural and industrial revolutions to the end of the
nineteenth century. There are also descriptions of the face of the
country at 1800 before the coming of the railways, at 1850 and
again at the end of that century. For all students of historical
geography this is an essential book. Many others interested in the
history of the landscape of England will also find it illuminating
and valuable.
