Artists reacted to this changing world - their own sense of place, space and history informing their work in individual ways - but also helped to shape it. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCarefully researched and subtly argued, this book deepens our understanding of a fascinating period in British art history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this trailblazing study, Margaret Garlake complicates traditional histories of British landscape art in the post-war period. Drawing together work from painters and photographers―many of them women―Garlake expands the conventional view of the genre to include both rural and urban subjects \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eas well as that often-overlooked territory known as the edgelands, and complicates traditional histories of British art of the period. In doing so, she brilliantly places the work within the context of physical changes wrought by postwar society, as the British countryside reverted to civilian use, cities were built, and artists adjusted to the landscape as a site of both tradition and modernity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMargaret Garlake is an independent art historian and former visiting lecturer at the Courtauld Institute of Art.
