In order to contextualise The Go-Between’s complex landscaping, this chapter combines close analysis with cross-disciplinary landscape history. It traces the film’s roots from the emergence of a new discourse about the picturesque in the 1920s, through the psychogeography of L.P. Hartley’s original novel, to Losey’s pioneering approach to filming a country estate for The Gypsy and the Gentleman (1958).
