Book Synopsis

I.P. Taylor has been writing about the lost landscapes of the North for over forty years old earthworks, ruined churches, derelict mine-workings, Neolithic barrows and deserted villages. Bringing together the best of this work in a single volume, Dusk is a book about enclosure, famine and deforestation, about bleak moorlands, sunken roads, nettles and cobwebs. Exploring between the pages of history, superstition, myth and the threadbare cloak of folk tradition', Taylor listens to the drovers, peat-cutters, ironstone miners, seasonal labourers, landless farmers and tramps in whose hollow voice of loss' he hears a renegade and still undefeated Albion, like a fox running from the cleanshaven faces and privileged profiles' of the Hunt, the Green Man still dancing in the trees.
