Early visitors to Dartmoor, that great granite mass dominating the centre of Devonshire, usually complained about its climate, agreeing that 'this one thinge is to be observed that all the yere through out commonly it rayneth or it is fowle wether in that more or desert'. Around the skirts of the moor, as a discomforted 18th-century traveller found, the terrain was difficult, 'the soil exceedingly swampy and moist, and covered with bogmoss', through which his horses' legs 'penetrated knee-deep at every step'. Faring no better, the high moor was judged as 'dreary in the extreme', of 'unprepossessing aspect', and presenting nothing of interest. William Gilpin, arbiter of the picturesque, hurried away, declaring that Brentor was 'so immersed in clouds' he could not even distinguish its shape. Town dwellers despised the moorlanders, 'said to be born Clowns, their Carriage being very rustic and ungainly, and their speech so coarse, corrupt, and uncouth, as to be scarcely intelligible to strangers'. Yet, somehow and at some time, perceptions of the region and its people changed. The climate became healthy and bracing, the terrain wild and wondrous. Dartmorians' voices sounded 'liquid', like the 'rapid purling of the little streams', and the vibrant quality of their lives became the envy of outsiders. Landscape artists discovered that the 'vagrant mists' would eventually dissolve, to reveal a wilderness of haunting beauty surmounting gentle wooded valleys. Within a broad social and cultural context, writers and artists have contributed to this transformation of Dartmoor and its dwellers in various ways. The area retains its rugged natural beauty, and, surrounded by urban and coastal development, remains a focus for the outdoor movement of the 20th and 21st centuries. This book is a major addition to the literature of Dartmoor.

Granite, a tough composite of quartz, feldspar and mica, is the stuff of Dartmoor, the most formidable of the five granite bosses punctuating Britain’s southwest peninsula. A miserable place of rain and bog or a sunny upland of exquisite natural beauty, here the elements are raw, the sky huge and nature seems ascendant. But it is no less a place made by human beings. Stone circles, crosses, dwellings and boundaries speak of the ancient, medieval and modern people that extracted a living from the moorscape and created what it is today. Where convicts are incarcerated, backpackers roam freely; where commoners graze livestock, the army is trained; where the National Park Authority exercises control, the Duchy of Cornwall claims ownership. And Dartmoor remains a place that provides. Reservoirs hold the water drunk by local people. China clay is extracted from its mineral reserves. Not long ago granite was quarried from its hillsides. What is modern Dartmoor and what should it be? Did druids officiate here? Can the bog be drained and crops grown? Is it the place for a prison? And what of its people’s future, and the fate of its ponies, cows and sheep? For three hundred years such questions have been asked of the moor. Quartz and Feldspar does not so much provide answers as unearth those who did and the arguments they provoked.
