Description

Ideas of Landscape by Matthew Johnson offers a fresh perspective on landscape archaeology. This book assesses the current state of the field and proposes an alternative agenda that aligns with established empirical strengths, making it more relevant to contemporary studies. The English landscape tradition is explored in depth, tracing its ideological underpinnings back to Romanticism. The author argues that the strengths and weaknesses of landscape archaeology can be understood by examining the underlying theoretical discontents of this influential movement. By re-examining the foundations of landscape study, Johnson provides a new framework for understanding the subject, making this book an essential resource for scholars and researchers in the field.
