"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.
