This volume reassesses the life and work of Octavia Hill, housing reformer, open space campaigner, co-founder of the National Trust, founder of the Army Cadet Force, and the first woman to be invited to sit on a royal commission. In her lifetime, if not a household name, Octavia Hill was widely regarded as an authority on a broad range of acknowledged social problems, particularly housing and poverty. Yet despite her early pre-eminence, subsequent attempts by family members to keep her memory alive, and the remarkable success of the institutions which she helped to found, Hill fell from public favour in the twentieth century. The fourteen chapters in this book will help to provide a more nuanced portrait of Hill and her work in a broader context of social change, reflecting recent scholarship on nineteenth-century society in general, and on philanthropy and preservation, and women's role in them, in particular.

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.
