Sample Book Insights:
#1 Different societies see landscapes differently. For example, an Elizabethan traveler would describe his homeland in terms of cities, towns, ports, great houses, bridges and roads. A contemporary description will mention overcrowding and the problems of population expansion.
#2 The Elizabethan landscape is different from the landscape that you see today. It is vast and open, with small houses and fields, and it was not until the late 1590s that people started to use the term landscape to describe a view.
#3 Stratford-upon-Avon is located in the heart of England, about ninety-four miles north-west of London. The town was planned in the twelfth century, and most of the buildings are medieval. The most prestigious house in the town is New Place, built by Sir Hugh Clopton.
#4 The town of Stratford was planned in the Middle Ages, and has wide streets that allow plenty of light to enter the front parlours and workshops of the market traders.
