A collection of original essays by distinguished historians on the
works of topographical writers who described and recorded the
landscape of South-West England in the period c. 1540-1900. The
development, subject matter and contribution to knowledge of a
range of key authors is examined. For example, John Leland's
classic descriptions of South-West England will be assessed and the
works of local writers in the Tudor and Stuart era who followed an
developed his approach to the description of people and places is
examined. Amongst these, Richard Carew of Anthony produced perhaps
the finest of any of the descriptions of an English region in his
study of Cornwall, published in 1602. The authors follow the
writings of Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset topographers who
contributed to the genre over more than three centuries. The book
also includes a gazetter of collections in Devon and Cornwall where
copies of the works of local topographical writers can be found.
