Eco thinking?
I like William Boyd’s writing and he highlights something quite accurately, which is inherently problematic about the relationship between the urban and the rural. The assumed dichotomies of creative v traditional, noisy v quiet, dirty v clean, etc need to be challenged.
Furthermore he acknowledges the constructedness of the landscape as a characteristic, but he doesn’t analyse the meaning of constructing landscapes as a human activity.
