Download or read book The Invention of the English Landscape written by Peter Borsay and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-27 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since at least the Reformation, English men and women have been engaged in visiting, exploring and portraying, in words and images, the landscape of their nation. The Invention of the English Landscape examines these journeys and investigations to explore how the natural and historic English landscape was reconfigured to become a widely enjoyed cultural and leisure resource. Peter Borsay considers the manifold forces behind this transformation, such as the rise of consumer culture, the media, industrial and transport revolutions, the Enlightenment, Romanticism, and the Gothic revival. In doing so, he reveals the development of a powerful bond between landscape and natural identity, against the backdrop of social and political change from the early modern period to the start of the Second World War. Borsay's interdisciplinary approach demonstrates how human understandings of the natural world shaped the geography of England, and uncovers a wealth of valuable material, from novels and poems to paintings, that expose historical understandings of the landscape. This innovative approach illuminates how the English countryside and historic buildings became cultural icons behind which the nation was rallied during war-time, and explores the emergence of a post-war heritage industry that is now a definitive part of British cultural life.

Download or read book A Happy Holiday written by Cecilia Louise Morgan and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most revealing things about national character is the way that citizens react to and report on their travels abroad. Oftentimes a tourist's experience with a foreign place says as much about their country of origin as it does about their destination. A Happy Holiday examines the travels of English-speaking Canadian men and women to Britain and Europe during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It describes the experiences of tourists, detailing where they went and their reactions to tourist sites, and draws attention to the centrality of culture and the sensory dimensions of overseas tourism. Among the specific topics explored are travellers' class relationships with people in the tourism industry, impressions of historic landscapes in Britain and Europe, descriptions of imperial spectacles and cultural sights, the use of public spaces, and encounters with fellow tourists and how such encounters either solidified or unsettled national subjectivities. Cecilia Morgan draws our attention to the important ambiguities between empire and nation, and how this relationship was dealt with by tourists in foreign lands. Based on personal letters, diaries, newspapers, and periodicals from across Canada, A Happy Holiday argues that overseas tourism offered people the chance to explore questions of identity during this period, a time in which issues such as gender, nation, and empire were the subject of much public debate and discussion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: England, a country rich in history, culture, and natural beauty, is part of the United Kingdom, nestled beside Scotland and Wales. Known for its significant contributions to the arts, science, and political thought, England has played a pivotal role in shaping the modern world. It is a land where ancient monuments and modern innovations coexist, from the prehistoric stones of Stonehenge to the bustling, cosmopolitan streets of London. The essence of England lies not just in its iconic landmarks such as the Big Ben, the London Eye, or the picturesque Lake District, but also in its quieter, less celebrated corners. Rolling hills, quaint villages with thatched cottages, and vibrant green fields encapsulate the quintessential English countryside. Similarly, its cities are a tapestry of the old and new, where medieval cathedrals stand alongside cutting-edge galleries and theaters. England's culture is a complex layering of history and modernity. The country's literary heritage, with figures like Shakespeare and Jane Austen, continues to influence and inspire the global stage. Meanwhile, English music, fashion, and football (soccer) are known worldwide, each adding to the country's dynamic and influential cultural footprint. English cuisine, often underestimated, offers a range of hearty and diverse dishes, from the traditional Sunday roast to the inventive modern fare found in the country's multitude of Michelin-starred restaurants. This culinary landscape is complemented by historic pubs, which provide a warm, convivial atmosphere that is quintessentially English. England is a country of contrasts and continuity. Its landscapes, people, and traditions create a unique and enduring character, inviting exploration and appreciation. Whether one seeks the quiet solitude of rural settings or the vibrant pulse of urban life, England offers a breadth of experiences that resonate with travelers and residents alike.
