eng	“Going out, I found, was really going in”: In Search of Wildness in Robert Macfarlane’s The Wild Places	This presentation will focus on Robert Macfarlane’s The Wild Places (2007), the second in his “loose trilogy of books about landscape and the human heart”. It will map ways in which this walker-writer brings the tradition of nature writing (e.g. John Muir, Edward Thomas, and Richard Jefferies) into the twenty-first century. It will show how Macfarlane, who sets out to find some of the remaining wild places in Britain, appropriates travel writing for his ruminations on environmental questions, escapism from the urban space, and the role of the wild in contemporary life. It will detail Macfarlane’s strategies to consider the reciprocal relationship between people and the environment.	Robert Macfarlane; landscape; wilderness; wildness
