		novel disseisin, although its emphasis was on quick remedy (no essoins were allowed).
		During the wars between Anglo-Saxons and Danes it was particularly applied to centres of population which were protected with defensive earthworks; such of those centres which continued to flourish in later times came to be boroughs.
		The term burgus often appears to be used in a technical sense, as distinct from "town" (villata), such as in the 1200 proceedings at Ipswich, usually relating to the town as a legal/administrative entity.

	Guardian \| This epic Earth
		Earthworks has a strong claim to being the true "ground zero" for land art, because of the many artists in its catalogue who later became significant figures in the movement.
		Soon after organising Earthworks, Smithson turned to the creation of his own land art masterpiece, the artwork that most people still see as the emblem of the genre.
		This earthwork is on an Egyptian or pre-Columbian scale.

	poetrymagazines.org.uk - A Failed Humanism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		That novel is a satire upon contemporary anti-intellectualism, represented by a group of student-hippies obsessed with D. Lawrence, Tolkein, and ‘self-expression’ in art; its writing, according to Raban, led Wilson to much research into pyramidology, astrology, and ancient earthworks.
		The two arguments of this novel are that such people are likely to have affairs with vulgar and aggressive young girls and leave their wives — which they ought not to do —; and that experiment in the arts is self-evidently absurd.
		Clive James dignifies this novel by proposing that it is about ‘the responsibilities of middle age’; in fact it argues that the prerequisites of the survival of humanist culture are ‘civilized’ (bourgeois) behaviour and restraint in art.

	About Earth Symbols
		Earth Symbols is a company that creates sacred space in the form of small or large walkable earthworks, that are also spiritual symbols and unique interactive gardens.
		These earthworks are labyrinths, mazes and other other complex geometric symbols, which are based on the first or archetypal patterns of Nature.
		An earth symbol is an interactive art piece, that is walkable, allowing an individual to be inside the symbol, where you get a novel and more complete experience of it, as compared to viewing from the outside.

	Brian Aldiss - REVIEWS
		This novel was first published in 1965, and in some ways it was ahead of its time.
		Although most of the story is set aboard robot controlled, nuclear powered supertankers, in factory farms run by slave labour and in the bedrooms of a decadent elite, it is a "green" novel.
		"Earthworks" may mean ramparts, a metaphor for protection against the problem, or it could mean the Earth working its problems out in a natural way.

		Similarly, Robert Smithson, a science fiction fan and painter of monsters, was wandering New Jersey's toxic badlands seeking earthwork sites, all the while carrying a copy of Brian Aldiss' 1965 sci-fi novel Earthworks in his hip pocket, the story of a man wandering the planet transporting barges of sand here and there.
		While ecology might have played a part in the initial reception of early earthworks, it had little to do with their design, which in general gave no consideration to their surroundings.
		One exception to all this ecological disinterestedness is Dennis Oppenheim, who was the first earthworks artist to start his career as an earthworks artist (the rest migrated from other trades, language intact).

		In 1974 William Rubin, the then director of the MOMA in New York, admitted in an interview that: “The museum concept is not infinitely expandable”.

		Earthworks, ecological art and environmental art are all examples of land art, as are Dennis Oppenheim's and Ana Mendieta's interventions, most works by Chris Drury and Andy Goldsworthy, and the nature walks of Richard Long and Hamish Fulton.
		Earthworks, an art historical category, was devised to describe works like Robert Wilson's Poles (1967-1968), Michael Heizer's Double Negative (1969-1970), Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty (1970), Walter de Maria's Lightning Field (1974-1977), and many of the works installed at Artpark in Lewiston, New York.
		Earthworks are primarily permanent, large-scale, non-natural forms sited in "wide open spaces," as opposed to particular natural environments, such as along a river, amidst a field, or in an urban setting.

		He uses a Victorian novel and paints on their pages, leaving "rivers" [his word] of text - various characters recur throughout, but there is little sense of plot or narrative - it's pretty much a loose arrangement of scenes.
		The novel is like the film, panoramic, and in many ways "vague" - more a study of mood than anything else, of the magic of foreign climes, and a psychoanalyitical study of a young woman abroad.

		As a utopian novel, it's relatively weak, focusing more on the personal stories of its characters than on the details of the society constructed in Newton, MD by the EarthWorks corporation.
		On its surface, it doesn't appear to be all that great as a utopian novel in that it doesn't spend a good deal of time in presenting the details of Newton, choosing instead to focus on the dovetailing personal and political struggles of Newton's residents.
		However, its unifying theme is the hubris of trying to overcome centuries of mutual suspicion, mistrust, xenophobia and outright hatred between fl and white in the span of a single generation, in the space of a single planned community.
