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
starts with the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons and covers the
development of the English landscape during the medieval and Tudor
periods. There are also descriptions of the face of the country in
Domesday times, the early fourteenth century and in 1600. 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.
