Summary: Comment sont nés les premiers mouvements de protection de la nature? Quelles ont été leurs motivations et leur idéologie? Quelles résistances et quels soutiens ont-ils rencontrés? Ce sont les questions auxquelles cet ouvrage tente de répondre, en étudiant le cas de l'Angleterre entre 1750 et 1914, espace symbolique du développement de l'industrialisation et de l'urbanisation, et l'un des pays pionniers en matière de préservation de la nature. Partant de la transformation du regard porté sur une nature devenue paysage et de l'analyse d'une idéologie "environnementale" en pleine élaboration, cette histoire est complétée par celle des actions menées par les différentes associations de protection de la nature, dont le National Trust. De la chanson au tableau de maître, des premières photographies aux plus grands poèmes de l'époque victorienne, en passant par les témoignages recueillis dans les rapports du Parlement, cet ouvrage éclaire ainsi d'un jour nouveau les origines de la relation si particulière du peuple anglais à ses paysages.

Modern scholars often find it difficult to account for the profound eccentricities in the work of William Blake, dismissing them as either ahistorical or simply meaningless. But with this pioneering study, Saree Makdisi develops a reliable and comprehensive framework for understanding these peculiarities. According to Makdisi, Blake's poetry and drawings should compel us to reconsider the history of the 1790's. Tracing for the first time the many links among economics, politics, and religion in his work, Makdisi shows how Blake questioned and even subverted the commercial, consumerist, and political liberties that his contemporaries championed, all while developing his own radical aesthetic.
