Horhosok, puszták, búvólikak. Tájtörténeti tanulmányok a 16-18. századi Dél-Dunántúlról.

András K. Németh and Gábor Máté – an archaeologist-historian and a folklorist – carry on the finest traditions of their respective disciplines, presenting exceptionally fascinating examples of landscape history in relation to a specific region of Hungary. However, the volume is not merely evidence of the archaeologist and folklorist’s shared interests, but also of their collaborative work. The two authors’ shared approach provides an excellent example of how, using new scientific methods whilst drawing on traditional sources, it is possible to create a volume from a wealth of detailed data that will appeal both to those with an interest in history and to those wishing to discover this landscape. This history of the landscape, based on precise scholarly observations yet presented in a form that is accessible and enjoyable for a wider readership, depicts a world of which we now find only faint traces in our surroundings. At the same time, the volume draws our attention to the diverse and fascinating legacy created by the centuries-long interaction between the landscape and humankind.
