Post-Medieval Landscapes cover

'The formation of the landscape archaeological record is primarily a product of the post-medieval period' (Tom Williamson). This book reflects some of the most recent work in landscape studies of the period since 1500. It builds upon ideas and techniques pioneered by Hoskins in fields such as Anglo-Saxon topography and vernacular architecture, and also demonstrates how scholars are developing the subject conceptually, to examine landscapes as cultural artefacts, perceived differently by different groups within society.

These three volumes... provide a fascinating overview of landscape studies throughout Britain at the beginning of the 21st century.' -- British Archaeology British Archaeology Opens up a whole range of questions and responses to landscape that is now being tackled under the heading of Landscape History.' -- Current Archaeology Current Archaeology 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
