Synopsis

Taplin explores the history of footpaths through the writings of poets and novelists. She demonstrates the important part played by the network of paths through the countryside, showing how it connects not only place with place but also human beings with nature. The book is illustrated with works of English artists who too have found paths a source of inspiration. As pressure on the countryside increases, this new edition brings the picture up to date, showing how contemporary writers are still celebrating the footpath as a creative resource.
