Reflecting on the pastoral theme in this year's BBC Proms, Patrick Wright examines how the English identity has been formed and influenced by the imagery of the countryside across the centuries, and how the conflict between the ideal of Utopian bliss and the hard realities of nature have engendered many different notions of what the countryside is.
