At first glance, the title of the volume is a bit misleading: "Antiquity" not only means the period in history, but also the name of a highly regarded journal founded in 1927. Due to its seventy-fifth anniversary, the new series "Antiquity Papers" intends to re-publish some of the journal's most challenging and outstanding articles. Each volume is dedicated to a special topic (at least four further volumes are forthcoming). Simon Stoddart has selected twenty-four important articles on "landscape" that date from 1928 up to 1999. Not every article concerns pre-historical or antique landscapes: Frederick Barker's instructive article, for instance, is a study on the production, preservation and consumption of the Berlin Wall. |
