A group of five talks by W.G. Hoskins
In these talks Dr. Hoskins, Reader in Economic History in the University of Oxford, is concerned with the various ways by when man - from Saxon to Victorian times - has altered the shape of the natural landscape. The difference between the sunken lanes of Devon, the snake-like roads of Lincolnshire, and the direct routes of central England is self-evident to any motorist: in his talk Dr Hoskins treats such differences in terms of landscape history.
