This is a detailed study of how the Somerset Levels, originally a
large tract of marsh, were drained and reclaimed to becomes one of
the most agriculturally productive areas of south-west England. The
story of the draining of this region brings to light significant
comparisons and contrasts with other reclaimed lowlands and extends
our knowledge of one of the processes by which the British
landscape has changed. This is an important book, which brings
together information on an area that has until now received very
little attention; it also shows just how early massive reclamation
began. It will be of interest to both geographers and historians.
