Using an innovative theoretical approach based on networks of conventions, the book investigates the regionalization of the English countryside through case studies of the preserved, the contested and the paternalistic countryside. It looks in detail at landowners, residents, politicians, planners, farmers, and environmentalists, and shows how the competing interests of these groups shape the countryside.
