Summary
"British literature often refers to pagan and classical themes through richly detailed landscapes that suggest more than a mere backdrop of physical features. The author analyzes the evocative language and aesthetics of landscapes in literature, film, television and music, and how "psycho-geography" is used to explore the influence of the past on the present"--
