Landscape and Subjectivity in the Work of Patrick Keiller, W.G. Sebald, and Iain Sinclair

David Anderson (Leverhulme Early Career Fellow, Queen Mary University of London)

The book offers a critical account of two writers and one film-maker whose work has responded in interesting ways to English landscape and townscape in the latter part of the twentieth century. Various key works by Keiller, Sebald, and Sinclair have hitherto been characterised separately under the rubric of ‘psychogeography’; this book provides a more thorough-going and nuanced account of exactly what their contribution has been, and is the first of its kind to do so. Confronting issues concerning the ‘heritage debate’, the ‘anthropocene’, and Anglo-German cultural relations, it describes a distinctive and significant moment in postwar British culture.
