by Fay Godwin
First published 1985
Fay Godwin presents the British landscape through her lens in this photographic collection. Her black and white images document the countryside's varied terrain and character. Novelist John Fowles provides written commentary that accompanies Godwin's visual work. The photographs reveal different aspects of Britain's natural and rural environments, from rolling hills to coastal areas. Fowles's text offers literary perspective on the scenes Godwin captures. Together, the visual and written elements create a portrait of the British landscape during the 1980s. The book gives readers both artistic documentation of the countryside and literary reflection on the relationship between people and place.
