Description
Millstone Grit is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between industry and nature in the north of England. The author's journey takes him through industrial towns and moors, as he reflects on the impact of human activity on the natural world.
The book delves into the specific culture of place, examining the history of Methodism and the Luddites, and speaking with a millworker to gain insight into the lives of those who lived in these special landscapes. With his characteristic blend of observation, poetry, and no-nonsense analysis, Hughes offers a nuanced vision of the north.
This new edition of Millstone Grit is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the region, and will appeal to readers looking to rediscover the author's unique perspective on the natural world.
