Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Long admired by poets and artists, Exmoor calls to mind wild moors, rugged landscapes and, of course, "Lorna Doone". Home to a wide variety of a distinctive flora and fauna including adders, nightjars and the famous Exmoor pony, it is difficult to believe that the scenery we see today is the result of millennia of human intervention. Since prehistoric times, Exmoor has provided a home and a livelihood for a small but significant population, which has proved to be innovative and resilient in the face of isolation, poor soil and a tough climate. Based on research in 11 Exmoor parishes straddling both Devon and Somerset, "Exmoor: The Making of an English Upland" looks at the history of landscape and community from prehistoric times to the present day. The book explores the patterns of settlement - how were Exmoor's farms and villages developed or abandoned over time? Who lived here and how did the survive? Hill farming and the wool and cloth industries are at the fore of the story, while the influence of national events such as the Civil War and the effects of 19th-century enclosure are also considered. Including an in depth look at sources fr the origins of Exmoor place names, population and migration, and deserted farmsteads, the book is illustrated with many new images and reconstruction drawings. "Exmoor: The Making of an English Upload" is a 'must read' for anyone interested in the area and a timely addition to the history of English uplands. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Hardcover. Condition: New - Acceptable. Sir Laurence Gomme's original idea for a county history was realized by the publisher Herbert Arthur Doubleday, who not only gained Queen Victoria's consent that the History should bear her name, but secured a special arrangement with the Public Record Office.

About the book >.>.> I am writing this amidst the remains of deep snows which have brought chaos to our region. Drifts in excess of three feet have paralysed Exmoor and are a timely reminder of how harsh this particular English upland can be. In our modern world we are accustomed to our daily life being relatively unchallenging in terms of the environment we face every day. Today we must journey further afield to encounter Nature's savage beauty. This book, however, reminds us all that, in the past, landscapes like Exmoor presented formidable challenges to those who lived and worked in them. Spectacular weather events were undoubtedly a rarity, but Exmoor has thin soils, high rainfall and still suffers from poor communications - all of these factors combine to make farming, or even just living, on Exmoor a harsh and uncomfortable experience.
