It taught me how to recognize and describe the compositional patterns of seventeenth-century landscape painting (which were epitomized in the work of Claude Lorrain), how these patterns became standardized in English landscape art, and how, in turn, they inflected the structures of eighteenth-century topographical poetry. Barrell\u2019s close reading, showing how the syntax of James Thomson\u2019s <em>The Seasons<\/em> encourages the reader\u2019s eye to move across the page in the way that the eye surveys a landscape painting, reveals how eighteenth-century readers looked at real landscapes. This builds to a foundational study of John Clare\u2019s unique poetic representation of place.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Barrell<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":129,"featured_media":925,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,33,31,16],"class_list":{"0":"post-548","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-bookshelf","8":"tag-18th-century","9":"tag-landscapes","10":"tag-painting","11":"tag-poetry","13":"with-featured-image"},"featured_image_urls_v2":{"full":["https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2020\/11\/Barrell-square.jpg",324,324,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2020\/11\/Barrell-square-300x300.jpg",300,300,true],"medium":["https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2020\/11\/Barrell-square.jpg",324,324,false],"medium_large":["https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2020\/11\/Barrell-square.jpg",324,324,false],"large":["https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2020\/11\/Barrell-square.jpg",324,324,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2020\/11\/Barrell-square.jpg",324,324,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2020\/11\/Barrell-square.jpg",324,324,false],"ab-block-post-grid-landscape":["https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2020\/11\/Barrell-square.jpg",324,324,false],"ab-block-post-grid-square":["https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2020\/11\/Barrell-square.jpg",324,324,false],"atomic-blocks-featured-image":["https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2020\/11\/Barrell-square.jpg",324,324,false],"atomic-blocks-featured-image-wide":["https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2020\/11\/Barrell-square.jpg",324,324,false],"atomic-blocks-logo":["https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2020\/11\/Barrell-square-300x300.jpg",300,300,true]},"post_excerpt_stackable_v2":"<p>John Barrell<\/p>\n","category_list_v2":"<a href=\"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/category\/bookshelf\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Bookshelf<\/a>","author_info_v2":{"name":"Alexandra Harris","url":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/author\/harrisaz\/"},"comments_num_v2":"0 comments","featured_image_src":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2020\/11\/Barrell-square.jpg","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2020\/11\/Barrell-square.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Alexandra Harris","author_link":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/author\/harrisaz\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/129"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=548"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":550,"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548\/revisions\/550"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/artsofplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
