According to legend, the English landscape – so calm on the
surface – is really the Devil’s work. Cloven Country, now in
paperback, tells of rocks hurled into place and valleys carved out
by infernal labour. The Devil’s hideous strength laid down great
roads in one night, and left scars everywhere as the hard stone
melted like wax under those burning feet. With roots in medieval
folklore, this is not the Satan of prayer, but a clumsy ogre,
easily fooled by humankind. When a smart cobbler or cunning young
wife outwitted him, they struck a blow for the underdog. Only the
wicked squire and grasping merchant were beyond redemption, carried
off by a black huntsman in the storm.
