We English, supposedly cold and unemotional, are helplessly in love with nature. We fell in love 200 years ago, and since then have been on a wild roller-coaster ride through escapism, romanticism, art, animal cruelty, conservation, birdwatching, the back-to-nature movement and much more. Today we live with pets, wildlife documentaries and smartphone apps. The English Love Affair with Nature tells the story of our long, tangled and passionate romance, how we fell in love, and why we are still obsessed by nature.
