Poetry, Enclosure, and the Vernacular Landscape, 1700-1830
Rachel Crawford examines the intriguing, often problematic relationship between poetry and landscape in eighteenth and early-nineteenth-century Britain. She discusses the highly contested parliamentary enclosure movement which closed off the last of England's open fields between 1760 and 1815. She considers enclosure as a prevailing metaphor for a reconceptualization of the aesthetics of space in which enclosed and confined sites became associated with productivity. She then examines explicit landscape imagerysuch as the apple, the iron industry, and the kitchen gardenwithin the context of georgic and minor lyric poetry.
