Edgelands: Journeys into England's Last Wilderness

In Edgelands (2010), Paul Farley and Michael Symmons Roberts write about mobile masts and gravel pits, business parks and landfill sites in the same way the Romantic writers forged a way of looking at an overlooked – but now familiar – landscape of hills and lakes and rivers. England, the first country to industrialise, now offers the world’s most mature post-industrial terrain, and is still in a state of flux: Edgelands takes the reader on a journey through its forgotten spaces so that we can marvel at this richly mysterious, cheek-by-jowl region in our midst. Edgelands was awarded the Jerwood Prize for Non-Fiction in 2010.
