This is a book about English art like no other. Forget the tired rogues’ gallery of lords and ladies, forget the tall ships and haywains. These images cut to the heart of England’s psychic landscapes to portray an Albion unhinged, where magic and rebellion and destruction are the horses to which the country is hitched. On these fabled shores we are all castaways, whether our family has lived here for four thousand years or for four. Here you will find depictions of ancient trackways, chalk carvings and standing stones, of animal-masked community rituals, of streets set ablaze in protest, of occult dreams and psychedelic prophecies. There are over 200 images by artists ranging from William Blake, J.M.W.
England's visionaries and mystics in full hue and cry
An eccentric yet absorbing account of England's visionaries and mystics, of the rites and rituals and obsessions of those who saw their country in a slanted and oblique light. All the usual suspects are here, of course, Blake, Palmer, Paul Nash, etc, but some lesser known illuminates are here, I was particularly glad to see Ithell Colquhon and Tacita Dean, women not nearly often enough given their due. You'll enjoy this immensely if, like me, you are a wild eyed hysterical Romantic. Recommended
