Table of ContentsReviewsBevis has chosen a critical moment in the history of thought, encompassing the Enlightenment and the rise of modern science. While the book derives its merit in part from the extraordinary scope, it derives its power from the originality of its perspective. It is a testament to thirty years of thought, reading, and careful integration of material. I find Bevis's reading thorough, his analysis sound, and his thinking independent and innovative. Anne Godlewska, Department of Geography, Queen's University I enjoyed reading The Road to Egdon Heath, which is clearly the fruit of immense labour and bottomless enthusiasm for the topic. There is a lot to interest readers here.
