Synopsis
What is the significance of Constable's paintings and "Constable country" for the contemporary post-modern era? The author, Peter Bishop, brings a new post-Jungian or archetypal perspective to bear on Constable's paintings and "Constable country". He also addresses the broader issues of the cultural psychology of art and the role of the imagined landscapes in the formation of modern psychological and cultural ideas. It forms a companion volume to the author's earlier work, "The Myth of Shangri-La", which looked at Western fantasies of the "other" as expressed in the creation of images of an exotic place. This volume charts the corresponding fantasies of the "self": "Constable country" provides a lens to examine the fostering of a sense of identity - individual, cultural and national. It aims to be of value to all those with an interest in art history, cultural history, psychology and cultural geography. Bishop's other books include "The Myth of Shangri-La" (1989) and "Dreams of Power" (1992).
