Art criticism is hardly my usual field of interest, but it was not art that Landscape and Memory prompted me to consider. Instead, it was nature itself.
Submit, Publish, Repeat Review
I planned to save it to my computer for reference later. When I started glancing though it, though, those glances became a more-or-less thorough read.

WB Yeats, a famous Irish poet and playwright in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, undertook to collect the folktales of his homeland.

Duffy answers his titular question with a simple answer of “basically everyone,” which struck me immediately as being a bit overly broad and inclusive.

If I'm going to read a book about more modern times, therefore, I like it to be one that doesn't merely retread the same worn ground as other histories with some purportedly new-fangled interpretation or spin that never quite lives up to its advertisements.
