Om bidragsyterne
Margaret Drabble is an author and novelist.'An understanding of social history as deep as her knowledge of literature' - The Times
'Drabble makes lively connections, parallels and distinctions … one of the great pleasures of the book is its quotations, generous in length, pertinently chosen … instructive and entertaining' - The Spectator
'A sensitive and, at times, moving survey of the relationship between place and writer' - Contemporary Review
The love of place is endemic in English literature, from the work of the earliest poets and hermits to the suburban celebrations of John Betjeman, covering all varieties of the British rural and urban landscape. This book presents an image of Britain as seen by writers of different regions and periods, and also illuminates the way in which their work has changed our visual attitudes, our taste in landscape and our relation to nature.
