- This interdisciplinary work (140,000 words) took five years to research and write. It draws on a rich corpus of manuscript and printed primary sources, and, for a work of landscape history, makes unprecedentedly systematic use of materials held by the National Archive at Kew. Four lengthy sections, combining thematic and chronological treatments, trace the process, beginning in the early modern period, that saw Dartmoor established as one of the UK’s most iconic landscapes. Close attention is paid to the consequences that flowed from this, particularly the contestations that arose since its designation as a National Park in 1951.
