| Riepilogo: | Arthur Mee, Baptist editor of The Children's Encyclopaedia (CE), offers CE readers a 'territorial spirituality' for scenery pilgrims' between the wars. Devotee of English countryside, acculturated to believe that 'life's a journey', Mee encourages young travellers to tread this 'enchanted land' as pilgrims, who slowly journey to old, quiet places (by rail) and visit 'sources of vision', becoming habituated to mystical, Romantic experience of the natural world in sacred spaces of hidden England. Basically Baptist (Bunyanesque?), Mee's 'pilgrimage' ethos is of its time, reflecting the open-air values of inter-war English evangelicals in the A.E.G.M. and Oxford Group. |
