Description
This essay discusses the influence of archaeology and photography on the British landscape in the 1930s and 1940s. The essay looks at how these two disciplines helped to reassure and enchant the British public, and how their work affected the way the landscape was seen.
In mid-twentieth-century Britain, an archaeological vision of the British landscape reassured and enchanted a number of writers, artists, photographers, and film-makers. From John Piper, Eric Ravilious and Shell guide books, to photographs of bomb damage, aerial archaeology, and The Wizard of Oz, Kitty Hauser delves into these evocative interpretations and looks at how they affected the way the landscape was seen.
