Studies the work of British film-maker and writer Patrick Keiller, German writer W. G. Sebald, and Welsh writer and film-maker Iain Sinclair to illustrate how they represent a highly significant moment in English literature and film's engagement with landscape and environment.
This is a convincing thesis...This breadth of reference is one of the strengths of Anderson's work on Keiller (and, for that matter, on Sebald and Sinclair too). Since all three are richly allusive and have densely elaborate frames of reference, writing about them presents its challenges, but this book rises to them well, and makes a particularly valuable addition to the literature on Keiller.
