Medieval Landscapes by Stephen Rippon

Medieval Landscapes by Stephen Rippon

The medieval period was at the centre of W G Hoskins concerns: the period when his 'palimpsest' of the English landscape was, if not quite wiped clean, very thoroughly overwritten. The essays here demonstrate how researchers have moved beyond issues of describing and 'reading' the landscape to address the social and ideological - as well as economic - functions of landscapes, and to seek explanations for regional difference.

These three volumes.. provide a fascinating overview of landscape studies throughout Britain at the beginning of the 21st century.' -- British Archaeology British Archaeology Provides the fullest and most coherent set of essays.' -- Current Archaeology Current Archaeology (the papers of this conference) now published by Windgather to their usual high standard. a splendid and very well-organised occasion.' -- Medieval Settlement Research Group Medieval Settlement Research Group The vitality of the discipline is reflected in the many excellent papers here, full of interesting material and ideas, several of which are inspirational.' -- Landscape History Landscape History
