England’s Green: Nature and Culture since the 1960s
Autor David Matlessen Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 sep 2024
England’s Green explores how environmental concerns have shaped and reflected English national identity since the 1960s. From agriculture to leisure, climate change, folklore, archaeology, and religion, David Matless shows how national environmental debates connect to the local, regional, global, and postcolonial worlds. Moving across a breadth of material including government policy, popular music, ecological polemic, and television comedy, England’s Green shows the richness and complexity of English environmental culture. Along the way, Matless tracks how today’s debates over climate and nature, land, and culture, have been molded by events over the past sixty years.

Recenzii
"England's Green, a brilliant environmental kaleidoscope . . . This is a sharply critical view of what England’s green and pleasant land has undergone . . . a brilliant environmental kaleidoscope . . . The book’s publication could not be timelier, in a world whose naturalness seems increasingly pressured."
"England’s Green explores how the country's connection with the environment has shaped and reflected English national identity since the Sixties, touching on a wide range of issues including agriculture, climate change, folklore and culture."
“England’s Green is another masterly work by Matless, tracking six decades of tussles over English identity and the land itself, lit up by insights into farming, gardening, geology, conservation, and folk dancing. Mixing geographic specificity with sly wit, Proustian memory-dives with encyclopedic reference, Matless misses nothing: Kate Bush, the Clangers, Richard Mabey, PJ Harvey, all are accorded the same eloquent attention. What results is nothing less than a field guide to life in the Anthropocene.”
