The Moor : A journey into the English wilderness

Shortlisted for the 2015 Wainwright Prize In this journey across England's most forbidding and mysterious terrain, William Atkins takes the reader from south to north, exploring moorland's uniquely captivating position in our history, literature and psyche. Atkins' journey is full of encounters, busy with the voices of the moors, past and present. He shows us that, while the fierce terrains we associate with Wuthering Heights and The Hound of the Baskervilles are very human landscapes, the moors remain daunting and defiant, standing steadfast against the passage of time.Author: Atkins, William,author Contributors: Atkins, William,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 400 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: Main Published/Release Date: 7 May 2015 Bic Classification: United Kingdom, Great Britain, Grasslands, heaths, prairies, tundra, Travel writing bicCode: Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Publisher: Faber & Faber Imprint: Faber & Faber Author/Director/Artist: William Atkins Dimension (cm): 200x130x20 mm Package Dimension (cm): 33x196x130 mm Item Weight (g): 310 Package Weight (g): 322
