Beauty in the Lap of Horror

Early travellers to Borrowdale & Derwentwater

Stephen Matthews

£12.00

Few places have been described so ecstatically and so frequently as Derwentwater and Borrowdale. Between 1750 and 1780 ten writers felt the power of this landscape. Their accounts transformed the way we look at the lakes and the fells.

Beauty in the Lap of Horror weaves their pictures of this most beautiful place into the story of their lives and the discovery of the Elysium of the North.
