This paper takes a fresh look at Celia Fiennes' account of her tour of England, Wales and Scotland, at the end of the seventeenth century. Travelling on horseback, and sometimes on foot, Fiennes recounted her experiences of journeying through the country, commenting on the physical qualities and characteristics of the landscapes she moved through, together with local customs, industrial and agricultural processes, and places of curiosity and note. This paper explores Fiennes’ sensory immersion in the landscapes she rode through, and her awe and wonder at the interactions of natural and human processes in the continuous work of making landscapes. Her writing provides not only an insight into the meanings of landscape as a visual experience but importantly the ways in which landscape is emergent through all of the senses - sight, sound, taste, touch, feeling - and in the imagination and memory. Rather than dipping in to her text for passages that serve to illustrate a point on a specific subject such as regional culinary traditions or sightseeing, this paper is interested in the work in its entirety, for offering an invaluable first-hand account of the texture of landscape at the close of the seventeenth century.

本文重新审视了西莉亚·费因斯 (Celia Fiennes) 对她在 17 世纪末游历英格兰、威尔士和苏格兰的记述。Fiennes 骑马，有时步行，讲述了她在这个国家旅行的经历，评论了她所经过的风景的物理质量和特征，以及当地的习俗、工业和农业过程，以及好奇和注意的地方。本文探讨了 Fiennes 对她所骑过的风景的感官沉浸，以及她在持续的风景制作工作中对自然和人类过程相互作用的敬畏和惊奇。她的作品不仅提供了对景观作为一种视觉体验的意义的洞察力，而且重要的是提供了景观通过所有感官——视觉、听觉、味觉、触摸、感受——并在想象和记忆中。与其深入研究她的文字，寻找用于说明特定主题（例如区域烹饪传统或观光）的观点的段落，本文对作品的整体感兴趣，因为它提供了对作品质地的宝贵第一手资料十七世纪末的风景。
