A Land by Jacquetta Hawkes

3.0

Of its time a lyrical exploration of landscape and humanity - a sort of geological Matter of Britain. But in both style and accuracy it can’t command the respect of later writers. However as a source book for those trains of thought that can be encountered in Macfarlane or Feinnes or a number of current authors it is a must-read, as it is for an example of the post-war attempt to define British cultural roots.
