THREAD. Whether poring over old/modern maps or going for a walk in new/familiar places it’s always fun to wonder what the landscape we see today was like in the past & why/how it became the world we know today. Here are my #Top10Books for beginners in #medieval #landscape history Image
No. 1 is Christopher Taylor’s beautifully written, highly readable history of the English landscape - ahead of its time in 1983, still the best introduction today & quite ridiculously cheap secondhand. It far surpasses Hoskins, wonderful though the latter was in its time. ImageImage
No. 2 is Rackham environmental history of Britain - also still unrivalled after just over 30 years. He showed how much one can tell about the past and present just by looking at trees, hedges, fields, grassland. It’s a stunner. Your world will never be the same (in a good way 😊) ImageImage
