Castles were among the most dominant features of the medieval
landscape and many remain impressive structures to the present day.
This paperback edition of a book first published in hardback in
2002 is a fascinating and provocative study which looks at castles
in a new light, using the theories and methods of landscape
studies. For the first time castles are examined not as an isolated
phenomenon, but in relation to their surrounding human as well as
physical landscapes. Taking a thematic approach, the study examines
a broad range of evidence - archaeological, documentary and
topographical - to put castles back into the medieval landscape and
assess their contribution to its evolution. Far more than simply a
book about castles, this is a study of the impact of power and
authority on the landscape. O.H. Creighton is Lecturer in
Archaeology at the University of Exeter. He is the author (with
R.A. Higham) of Medieval Castles (Shire, 2003).
