Rising ground : a search for the spirit of place
Marsden, Philip, 1961-2014
Books
Why do we react so strongly to certain places? Why do layers of mythology build up around particular features in the landscape? From the Neolithic ritual landscape of Bodmin Moor to the Arthurian traditions of Tintagel, from the mysterious china-clay country to the granite tors and tombs of the far south-west, Marsden assembles a chronology of our shifting attitudes to place.
