David Matless is professor of cultural geography at the University of Nottingham. His books include Landscape and Englishness, also published by Reaktion Books.
"""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.""--Steve Waters, University of East Anglia, author of ""The Contingency Plan"""
