Grounded A Journey Into The Landscapes Of Our Ancestors James Canton by James Canton 9781838855871, 1838855874 instant download after payment.

Grounded is about healing our ruptured connection with our ancestors & with the land

For thousands of years, our ancestors held a close connection with the landscapes they lived in. They imbued it with meaning: stone monuments, sacred groves, places of pilgrimage. In our modern world we have rather lost that enchantment & intimate knowledge of place.

James Canton takes us on a journey through England seeking to see through more ancient eyes, to understand what landscape meant to those that came before us. We visit stone circles, the West Kennet long barrow, a Crusader round church & sites of religious visions. We meet the Dagenham Idol & the intricately carved Lion Man figure. We find artefacts buried in farmers' fields. There is history & meaning encoded into the lands & places we live in, if only we take the time to look.

Our natural world has never been under more threat. If we relocate our sense of wonder, veneration & awe in the landscapes we live in, we might just be better at saving it. 

Dr. James Canton is Director of Wild Writing at the University of Essex. He is the author of The Oak Papers (2020), Ancient Wonderings: Journeys into Prehistoric Britain (2017) & Out of Essex: Re-Imagining a Literary Landscape (2013), which was inspired by his rural wanderings in East Anglia. He has written for the Guardian, reviews for the TLS & Caught by the River, & is a regular on television & radio.
