About this title

Synopsis

Stephen Rippon explores the origins of regional variations in the character of the landscape of southern Britain, arguing that while some landscapes date back to the centuries either side of the Norman Conquest, other areas across southern Britain underwent a profound change around the 8th century AD.

About the Author

Dr Stephen Rippon studied archaeology at the University of Reading, where he was awarded his PhD on "Landscape Evolution and Wetland Reclamation Around the Severn Estuary". He went on to become a British Academy Research Fellow, and then a lecturer in archaeology (now Reader in Landscape Archaeology) at the University of Exeter. His research interests include the transformation of wetland landscapes through reclamation in the Roman and medieval period, and the origins and development of regional variation in landscape character.
