£3 (free concessions)

Running time: 1 hour

A lunchtime talk connected to the Country Lives: Exploring the English Countryside from 1800 exhibition.

In this talk David Matless, Professor of Cultural Geography at the University of Nottingham, will explore the representation of the English countryside in the 20th century, showing how the depiction of rural landscape was also held to say something about England as a country.

20th-century images of English rural work and leisure illustrate issues of culture and politics which continue to shape country lives in the 21st century.
