Southwold an Earthly Paradise - Geoffrey Munn
Antique Collectors Club £25
Southwold is a nostalgic place where childhood memories are made from sunny holidays beside the sea, coloured beach huts lining the shore and the delicate pier straddling the waves of the North Sea. To some it is nothing short of an earthly paradise – indeed it was Southwold that inspired William Morris to write his epic poem The Earthly Paradise.
Southwold - An Earthly Paradise is a collection of vividly written essays that take the reader through the evolution of the town from a mediaeval fishing community, prosperous enough to build a magnificent church, to its modern identity as a popular, yet unspoilt, holiday town. Shakespeare heads an extraordinary cast of writers to have visited Southwold, including Algernon Swinburne, Thomas Hardy, Walter de la Mare, George Orwell, P. D. James and Esther Freud. J. M. W. Turner, one of Britain’s most celebrated artists, is known to have visited Southwold on many occasions and Geoffrey Munn has, for the first time, identified a number of drawings of Southwold by Turner. Whistler, Sickert, Wilson Steer, Spencer, and Damien Hirst have all followed in Turner’s footsteps. The text is lavishly illustrated with their work and all the 160 plates are in colour.
Geoffrey Munn is a well-known face on the BBC’s Antiques Road Show on which he is one of the jewellery specialists.
