Landscape, Literature and English Religious Culture, 1660-1800
offers a powerful revisionist account of the intellectual
significance of landscape descriptions during the 'long'
Eighteenth-century. Landscape has long been a major arena for
debate about the nature of Eighteenth-century English culture; this
book surveys those debates and offers a provocative new account.
Mayhew shows that describing landscape was a religiously contested
practice, and that different theological positions led differing
authors to different descriptive approaches. Landscape description,
then, shows English intellectual life still in the grips of a
Christian and classical mentality in the 'long' Eighteenth-century.
