Autobiography ('Landscape Trilogy')
LTC Rolt's autobiography was originally published in three volumes, Landscape with Machines in 1971, Landscape with Canals in 1977 and Landscape with Figures in 1992 - the last two after his death.
These three volumes have been combined as a single volume - The Landscape Trilogy and re-issued in 2009 by The History Press. |

These three volumes were then published in one volume, called The Landscape Trilogy, in 2001 and in paperback in 2005, both by Sutton Publishing.

The three volumes of autobiography are the testament of a man who has given literary shape to the history of the Industrial Revolution and who had a unique gift for imparting to others his knowledge, his enthusiasm and his love for life.
Imbued with the author’s love of England and his intense feeling for the beauty and order of the English countryside, this book reveals a landscape populated not only by people but also by the machines with which he was fascinated.
"Tom had said to a friend 'I have had a happy life'. The diversity of that life with its pleasures and pains, its love and enthusiasms, amused and amusing, and above all its noble effort to make sense of its experiences, lies within these pages."
Sonia Rolt in her introduction to the Landscape Trilogy.
