"Ideas of Landscape" discusses the current theory and practice of
landscape archaeology and offers an alternative agenda for
landscape archaeology that maps more closely onto the established
empirical strengths of landscape study and has more contemporary
relevance.
The first historical assessment of a critical period in archaeology
Takes as its focus the so-called English landscape tradition -- the
ideological underpinnings of which come from English Romanticism,
via the influence of the "father of landscape history" W. G.
Hoskins
Argues that the strengths and weaknesses of landscape archaeology
can be traced back to the underlying theoretical discontents of
Romanticism
Offers an alternative agenda for landscape archaeology that maps
more closely onto the established empirical strengths of landscape
study and has more contemporary relevance
