Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Thousand Miles of Wandering Along the Roman Wall, the Old Border Region, Lakeland, and Ribblesdale The success of the first edition of this work, in two parts, bound in one volume, comprising 1,200 copies, now exhausted, and demands for more, encouraged the author to issue the book in a more cheap and popular form, namely, in two volumes, each complete, if needs be, without the other. Volume I. dealing principally with Durham, Northumberland, and the Border Country proper; Volume II. describing the district around Carlisle, The Roman Wall, South Tyne, and the Irthing and Eden Valleys, with chapters descriptive of the old-world border country around Upper Teesdale and Stain-Moor. Then the pilgrimage is extended to the Lake Country, and from thence down Ribblesdale to the sea. Our object is to excite that love for nature (inherent in the human heart), especially the varied and changeful scenery of our native land, which can hold its own with the fairest scenes beyond. Few countries can match ours in the delightful undulation of hill, vale, and plain, decked with green woods, meadows, and corn field. Old sleepy villages, sombre and grey, with church spire rising over the sunlit roofs, or, peradventure, an old castle or peel tower seen standing so shadowy and silent on the wild, desolate moorland, though shorn of former dignity, still seeming to defy the wreck of time, mute, yet eloquent, opening out pages of thrilling history, startling exploits, adventure, and romance, in days when "might was right." And how delightful to the soul of a pilgrim is the scenery along the banks of a river anon hurrying, now tranquil, curving and flowing 'neath overshadowing tress; and perhaps in no other part of the world, in so small a compass as our English Lakes cover, can such exquisite phases of nature be found. And, lastly, Ribblesdale, where the Ribble bursts from the wild mountainous country of Craven, with its wondrous caverns and curious pot holes, its latter course meandering and graceful. Thus we obtain, in this valley, in a distance of 30 or 40 miles, all the charm of contrast which make the Northern counties so delightful and invigorating. I owe my thanks to Mr. G. T. Lowe and Mr. L. Moore for their contributions - "The Roman Wall," "Climbs in Lakeland," and "High Ribblesdale."

Download or read book William Wordsworth and the Invention of Tourism 1820 1900 written by Saeko Yoshikawa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her study of the opening of the English Lake District to mass tourism, Saeko Yoshikawa examines William Wordsworth’s role in the rise and development of the region as a popular destination. For the middle classes on holiday, guidebooks not only offered practical information, but they also provided a fresh motive and a new model of appreciation by associating writers with places. The nineteenth century saw the invention of Robert Burns’s and Walter Scott’s Borders, Shakespeare’s Stratford, and the Brontë Country as holiday locales for the middle classes. Investigating the international cult of Wordsworthian tourism, Yoshikawa shows both how Wordsworth’s public celebrity was constructed through the tourist industry and how the cultural identity of the Lake District was influenced by the poet’s presence and works. Informed by extensive archival work, her book provides an original case study of the contributions of Romantic writers to the invention of middle-class tourism and the part guidebooks played in promoting the popular reputations of authors.

Download or read book Cloven Country written by Jeremy Harte and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2023-08-25 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback, an exploration of the myths of England’s deceptively bucolic rolling hills and country lanes believed to be created and shaped by the Dark Lord himself. According to legend, the English landscape—so calm on the surface—is really the Devil’s work. Cloven Country tells of rocks hurled into place and valleys carved out by infernal labor. The Devil’s hideous strength laid down great roads in one night and left scars everywhere as the hard stone melted like wax under those burning feet. With roots in medieval folklore of giants and spirits, this is not the Satan of prayer, but a clumsy ogre, easily fooled by humankind. When a smart cobbler or cunning young wife outwitted him, they struck a blow for the underdog. Only the wicked squire and grasping merchant were beyond redemption, carried off by a black huntsman in the storm. Cloven Country offers a fascinating panorama of these decidedly sinister English tales.

Download or read book Claim on the Countryside written by Taylor Harvey Taylor and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last century has seen a dramatic increase in ramblers, mountaineers, cyclists and hill walkers enjoying the British countryside. This remarkable book charts the history of the outdoor movement from its late Victorian origins to its present status. Harvey Taylor describes how the active participants in the movement combined to create a loosely constructed entity, held together by common areas of interest and shared campaigning concerns. From the formation of Footpath Protection Societies and the development of a Countryside Access campaign in the inter-war years, he emphasises that the movement was very much more than just a 'craze' or a reaction against creeping industrialisation and urbanisation as was portrayed at the time. This is a fascinating introduction to a particularly British recreational phenomenon.
