'...a superbly rich study...students of literature, landscape and cultural history at all levels... will wish to reread it again and again.' - Choice
'...a scholarly thesis in its structure...the dazzlingly technical precision of her analysis...betrays the eye of a keen and experienced horsewoman.' - Timothy Mowl, Times Literary Supplement
'[Landry's] insights give an illuminating background to familiar debates and concepts.' - Robbie Hudson, The Sunday Times
'...an important contribution to the study of literature and the environment...an engaging book.' - Deborah Kennedy, The Wordsworth Circle
