Description: "Landscape, Literature and English Religious Culture, 1660-1800 offers a revisionist account of the intellectual significance of landscape descriptions during the 'long' eighteenth century. The book is an eighteenth-century intellectual history and will prove valuable to historians, critics and geographers alike."--BOOK JACKET.
