Cloven Country: The Devil and the English Landscape Harte Jeremy
Now in paperback, an exploration of the myths of England's deceptively bucolic rolling hills and country lanes believed to be created and shaped by the Dark Lord himself.According to legend, the English landscape--so calm on the surface--is really the Devil's work. The Devil's hideous strength laid down great roads in one night and left scars everywhere as the hard stone melted like wax under those burning feet. Cloven Country tells of rocks hurled into place and valleys carved out by infernal labor.
When a smart cobbler or cunning young wife outwitted him, they struck a blow for the underdog. With roots in medieval folklore of giants and spirits, this is not the Satan of prayer, but a clumsy ogre, easily fooled by humankind. Only the wicked squire and grasping merchant were beyond redemption, carried off by a black huntsman in the storm.
