Description

Landscape and Memory is a history book unlike any other. In a series of exhilarating journeys through space and time, it examines our relationship with the landscape around us—rivers, mountains, forests—the impact each of them has had on our culture and imaginations, and the way in which we, in turn, have shaped them to answer our needs. 'For although we are accustomed to separate nature and human perception into two realms,' writes Schama, 'they are, in fact, indivisible. Before it can ever be a repose for the senses, landscape is the work of the mind. Its scenery is built up as much from strata of memory as from layers of rock.' Schama does not make his argument by any conventional historical method. Instead he builds it up by a series of almost poetic stories and impressions, which cumulatively have the effect of a great novel. The forest primeval, the river of life, the sacred mount—at the end of Landscape and Memory we understand where these ideas have come from, why they are so compelling, what they meant to our forebears, and how they still lie all around us if only we know how to look.
