[QUOTE FROM BOOK]The Romantics are imperfect guides to the British coun­tryside: but guides - and extollagers - they are all the same. Whether well-known or obscure, as they walked, observed, settled, travelled and retreated, engineered and ate, colonised and mapped and tried to define the rural environment, these protagonists encountered it not as a well-thumbed gazetteer of the places they might make famous, but with revelatory freshness. And so with these ten walks I want to retrieve Shelley's lovely, lilting phrase, 'Hopes of high talk with the departed dead, ' from its sceptical context in 'Hymn to Intellectual Beauty'. I'm walking as if to catch up with the Romantics: if not for 'high talk', at least for some of the gossip of witness. Way-finders, they go ahead of me through my familiar land­scapes - railway embankments, woodland walks, parks at dusk - like stars glimpsed through the branches of a wood.
