Abstract

David Austin and Paul Stamper Over the last six years, Landscapes has developed very rapidly to establish a secure place for itself in a well-populated field, with both a distinctive voice and a tone of authority. This is undoubtedly due to the creative partnership responsible for its inception, to which we pay tribute at this moment of tran- sition. The essence of this achievement has been an acute appreciation of audience, an emphasis on attractive design and format, especially its high quality graphics, a capacity to know where the cutting edge of the subject lies both empirically and theoretically, good authors at the top of their game, and a twice-yearly publication discipline. In accepting the invitation to take over the editorship, we would wish to affirm our commitment to these principles and to continue the pursuit of the high aspiration that the journal represents. Fifty years ago this year W. G. Hoskins brought out The Making of the English Landscape, which remains one of the freshest and most stimulating works of landscape history ever written (and it is well worth re-reading).
