Poetry, Enclosure, and the Vernacular Landscape, 1700-1830

About this book

"Rachel Crawford examines the intriguing, often problematic, relationship between poetry and landscape in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain. Crawford focuses on the gradual change during this period from the British taste for open space to a preference for confined space, so that by the beginning of the Regency period contained sites, both topographical and poetic, were perceived to express authentic English qualities."--Jacket.
