Writing landscapes inevitably occurs in dialogue with a long
textual and pictorial tradition, but first-hand experience also
provides key stimuli to many writers' accounts. This monograph
employs a comparative lens to offer an intervention in debates
between literary scholars who focus on genre and those cultural
geographers who are concerned that self-perpetuating literary
tropes marginalize practical engagements. Suggesting that
representation and experience are not competing paradigms for
landscape, Daniel Weston argues that in the hands of contemporary
writers they are complementary forces building composite
articulations of place. In five case studies, Weston matches a
writer to a mode of apprehending place - W.G. Sebald with
picturing, Ciaran Carson with mapping, Iain Sinclair with walking,
Robert Macfarlane with engaging, Kathleen Jamie with noticing.
Drawing out a range of sites at which representation and experience
interact, Weston's argument is twofold: first, interaction between
traditions of landscape writing and direct experience of landscapes
are mutually influential; and second, writers increasingly deploy
style, form, and descriptive aesthetics to recover the experience
of place in the poetics of the text itself. As Weston shows,
emergent landscape writing shuttles across generic boundaries,
reflecting the fact that the landscapes traversed are built out of
a combination of real and imaginary sources.
