A View From A Hill

A View From A Hill

Adam Clitheroe

A View from a Hill is a photobook about the English landscape. Or rather: the layers of history and narrative partly discernible in the land, and the sense of discomfort and unease they can engender in a viewer; a feeling that the writer Robert Macfarlane describes as English eerie, “the skull beneath the skin of the countryside”.

"...The book uses extracts from the short story “A View From A Hill” by MR James (1863-1936), originally published in 1925. The story concerns a peculiar pair of binoculars. Through them, the landscape remains the same but is seen at a point previous in its history. A lost abbey is viewed in its full splendour and gibbets adorn a nearby hilltop.
...
It’s this sense of time slippage that links the view through James’ uncanny fieldglasses with the images in the book... These aren’t 'picturesque' views of the sort described by the landscape theorist Uvedale Price (1747-1829) – this is the English landscape as a convoluted mess of grubby banalities and casual terrors, stuck in its own time warp..." - Adam Clitheroe
