People have always attached meaning to the landscape that surrounds
them. In Storied Ground Paul Readman uncovers why landscape matters
so much to the English people, exploring its particular importance
in shaping English national identity amid the transformations of
modernity. The book takes us from the fells of the Lake District to
the uplands of Northumberland; from the streetscapes of industrial
Manchester to the heart of London. This panoramic journey reveals
the significance, not only of the physical characteristics of
landscapes, but also of the sense of the past, collective memories
and cultural traditions that give these places their meaning.
Between the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries,
Englishness extended far beyond the pastoral idyll of chocolate-box
thatched cottages, waving fields of corn and quaint country
churches. It was found in diverse locations - urban as well as
rural, north as well as south - and it took strikingly diverse
forms.
