The Devil's hideous strength laid down great roads in one night and left scars everywhere as the hard stone melted like wax under those burning feet. With roots in medieval folklore of giants and spirits, this is not the Satan of prayer, but a clumsy ogre, easily fooled by humankind. When a smart cobbler or cunning young wife outwitted him, they struck a blow for the underdog. Only the wicked squire and grasping merchant were beyond redemption, carried off by a black huntsman in the storm. \u003ci\u003eCloven Country \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a fascinating panorama of these decidedly sinister English tales.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Harte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.80w x 2.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789148336","brand":"Reaktion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709220032649,"sku":"9781789148336","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_b2147c6c-fa83-4173-b733-96e95ee641bb.jpg?v=1719512473","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/cloven-country-the-devil-and-the-english-landscape-9781789148336","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
