As he came to know and love this part of Cumbria, he found inspiration in the beauty of its landscape, its rugged history as a frontierland, and in the spirit of its people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on pieces originally written for a local newspaper, Middleland is an urgent and inspiring portrait of rural Britain today – a place caught in tensions between farming and the natural world, between the need to preserve and to grow, between local and national politics – as well as a timeless evocation of the history, people and landscape of Cumbria. These are stories of beauty and ingenuity, which also show us what a better politics might look like. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaperback | Publication: 24 Sept 2026, Vintage\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781529971644\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 352 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57164062851454,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/9781529971644.jpg?v=1774446629","url":"https:\/\/www.davids-bookshops.co.uk\/products\/middleland-dispatches-from-the-borders-by-rory-stewart","provider":"David's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
