{"product_id":"9781476629933","title":"A Green and Pagan Land: Myth, Magic and Landscape in British Film and Television","description":"British literature often refers to pagan and classical themes through richly detailed landscapes that suggest more than a mere backdrop of physical features. The myth-inspired writings of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Algernon Blackwood, Aleister Crowley, Lord Dunsany and even Kenneth Grahame’s \u003ci\u003eThe Wind in the Willows\u003c\/i\u003e informed later British films and television dramas such as \u003ci\u003eThe Owl Service\u003c\/i\u003e (1969-70), \u003ci\u003eBlood on Satan’s Claw\u003c\/i\u003e (1971), \u003ci\u003eThe Wicker Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1973), \u003ci\u003eExcalibur\u003c\/i\u003e (1981) and Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975).    The author analyzes the evocative language and esthetics of landscapes in literature, film, television and music, and how “psycho-geography” is used to explore the influence of the past on the present.","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company, Incorporated Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126185279728,"sku":"9781476629933","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781476629933_p0.jpg?v=1763609307","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781476629933","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
