Just as striking is the removal of people from the island of St Kilda in 1930 even though these islands had been inhabited for over a thousand years. How in August 1930 the people were evacuated from the island, how they closed the public services, held their last church service before drowning their dogs of the only pier on the island. This being one of many stories of violence that appears throughout the book, not as glorification but mournful. In Shadowlands the social historian Matthew Green travels through what he calls “lost Britain”, disentangling the stories and disinterring the remains of a series of ill-fated settlements across the country. The book, he warns us in his opening statement, is written “in the minor key”; he is interested only in “what fails, not what succeeds”.

Disgraced ex King Juan Carlos of Spain attends his granddaughter Princess Leonor's 18th birthday party after returning from Dubai To condense his exploration of these abandonments, Green necessarily simplifies his description of historic situations, which sometimes seemingly accept the determinism of hindsight, rather than the complexity and uncertainty of lived history.

Green articulates both qualities in evocative prose that shifts between lyrical and drily humorous. His enthusiasm is infectious, which is just as well, for sometimes the detail feels exhaustive.

A short Coda muses upon the ruination of the future, caused by climate change and economic conditions. Dunwich - much lost to the sea from gradual coastal erosion after two “calamitous” sea storms in 1288 and 1328, including numerous ecclesiastical buildings and churches. Green references visits by Henry James (English Hours) and W G Sebald (The Rings of Saturn), as well as historical researches by Elizabethan writer Stow, who was commissioned by Day, whose early life was spent in Dunwich.M&S Christmas advert 2023: Hannah Waddingham, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Zawe Ashton join Queer Eye's Tan France in a very star-studded ad Green’s unique style of writing spreads this world before the reader.

Scene Two: 10 October 1965. The publication of a lurid newspaper interview in which the leader of the Free Wales Army says his organisation fully intends to prevent the opening of Llyn Celyn. Matthew Green first heard about Dunwich, the drowned medieval city off the Suffolk coast, in 2016 during a period of instability and “emotional turmoil” in his life, when his father died and his wife left him. “I was determined to discover how our country has come to be shaped by absences,” writes Green, “just as my life had come to be defined by what was no longer there.” Winchelsea - 13th century East Sussex port and town lost to the sea between about 1270 and 1288, now called Old Winchelsea to distinguish it from the new replacement Winchelsea town founded about three miles away by Edward I in the 1280’s. “It was the first major town in Britain to drown since the beginning of recorded history.” New Winchelsea becomes depopulated gradually from about 1350 as the estuary silts up and the wine trade, upon which its prosperity is founded, diverts to other ports.Emilia Clarke reveals what her true fears were after suffering a brain haemorrhage: 'I wasn't afraid of dying. I was afraid of being fired!' But the problem is urgent and widespread: 800 buildings in England and Wales could be under water in 20 years, and London by the close of this century. But by the time he got to Kirkwall, the chief and indeed only city on Orkney, a note of apprehension had crept into his thoughts. What was he doing here? He hated fieldwork. He liked books and was an accomplished archaeologist, writing for both academic and popular audiences. He didn’t like going outside but he would have to spend the next couple of years shovelling sand on a beach – not a gorgeous Australian bay of fine white sand beneath a hot sun, but an abysmal Scottish one, assisted by men with cold, gloomy accents and of meagre cheer who wouldn’t appreciate his spontaneous quotation of the Classics, nor his Roman arithmetic, and buttressed at all times by a glacial wind that would chill him to the bone. There’s also far too much ‘horrid history’ for my liking - needlessly gruesome details of warfare, natural disasters and massacring animals, which all felt a bit pornographic.

The content also irked me. While full of fascinating facts (and a lot of pointless statistics) there is a vast amount of supposition. OK, we’re talking about places about whose history we can’t be certain, I admit, but I found the flights of authorial imagination trite and grating. With the aid of striking maps, prints and photographs, Matthew will resurrect these lost towns and settlements, evoking their unique layouts and describing in dramatic detail the experiences of their former dwellers - many of whom tried, but failed, to resist the tides of change. This class will also explore how and why places are disappearing from Britain’s landscape today and what the past might reveal about the future.
