A Note on the Cover
For thousands of years humans have been likening the process of writing to the ways in which we interact with the landploughing and digging, sowing and reaping. In the early seventh century CE Isadore of Seville tells of how the Romans for their writing used styluses that were at first made of iron, later of bone, and quotes from a now-lost Roman play by the now-unknown playwright Atta: we shall turn the ploughshare upon wax, and plough with a bone point. Around 1400 the German poet Johannes von Tepl begins his long poem The Ploughman of Bohemia with a reference to what he refers to as a well-known maxim of scribes: the quill is my plough. In some sense the quill or pen is of course like a plough in that it digs into the writing surface. But the digging can also be likened more broadly to what writing doesas Seamus Heaney famously likens it in a 1964 poem about his fathers digging and what Heaney himself will do with his squat pen.
An image of ploughing, then, connects with the substance of this book as a metaphorical image of writing. But this particular image of ploughing connects in a more specific fashion to this particular writing guide: an extended discussion of Landscape with the Fall of Icarus features prominently in a chapter that is new to this edition, Seeing and Meaning: Reading (and Writing About) Visual Images. The cover image is in this case also a reminder that writing is a matter of content as well as process.
