This book traces for the first time a green tradition in English art. English artists over the past two centuries have use landscapes of home, often quite specific localities, to shape their vision. It is a history of constant challenge and renewing response, of intensely private men and women seeking and finding sustenance for their visions in the nature and climate of their own country. For English art, which has usually been reckoned to show no continuity at all, this history may be definitive. It shows a national art drawing visionary nourishment from the land.
