 note = {The National Trust was founded by Robert Hunter, Octavia Hill, and Hardwicke Rawnsley in 1895 to serve the purpose of preserving natural beauties and historic sites in England. Certainly, it incorporated what is today called environmental philosophy, but it was more or less a composite of various thoughts and ideas at a particular time of history. This thesis is going to excavate the historical context in which these thoughts were formulated and merged into a nationwide movement for the preservation of natural and historic environments and thereby to unravel the complex ideological ramifications that constituted the National Trust. At least, there were three different lines of thoughts and motives behind the organization of the National Trust. Robert Hunter, who had been active as a solicitor for the Commons Preservation Society, was devoted to the preservation of commons for the enjoyment of the public, whereas Octavia Hill was more concerned about the serious effects of housing problems and the lack of open spaces upon the health and mind of the poor in urban areas. Rawnsley was initially fighting against railway companies in the Lake District. It was a sheer necessity of protecting natural environment against the surge of development and enclosures that obliged them to make an alliance with each other. But this alone cannot fully explain the rationale behind the establishment of the peculiarly English institution. The rapidity of depopulation in the rural countryside during the agricultural depression of the 1870s and 1880s, the defacement of natural beauties by the power of developing industry, and the deterioration of the living environment of the working class, all contributed to heightening social anxiety over the physical and moral depravation of the nation. It was this anxiety that, in turn, drove the people to recollect the past and recover the tradition of what they imagined to be an ‘English life’ in the ‘English’ countryside. The mythical ideology of ‘Englishness’ began to prevail in the British society particularly just around the time of WWI. It was in part a patriotic appraisal of the imagined past, but also a desperate attempt of the nation to preserve the rapidly vanishing natural environment for the enjoyment of the general public.},
