Cultural Geography on the Norfolk Broads

In the Nature of Landscape presents regional cultural
landscape as a new direction for research in cultural
geography.

* Represents the first cultural geographic study of the Norfolk
Broads region of eastern England

* Addresses regional cultural landscape through consideration of
narratives of landscape origin, debates over human conduct, the
animal and plant landscapes of the region, and visions of the ends
of landscape through pollution and flood

* Draws upon in-depth original research, spanning almost two
decades of archival work, interviews, and field study

* Covers a great diversity of topics, from popular culture to
scientific research, folk song to holiday diaries, planning survey
to pioneering photography, and ornithology to children’s
literature

* Features a variety of illustrative material, including original
photographs, paintings, photography, advertising imagery,
scientific diagrams, maps, and souvenirs
