Joash Woodrow
Joash Woodrow (1927-2006) was a visionary, semi-reclusive artist whose output of several thousand paintings and drawings was discovered only towards the end of his life - filling a modest suburban house in Leeds to the brim. This book illustrates, and discusses in accompanying essays, the artist's landscape and cityscape pictures from his 1940s' adolescence in Leeds, through richly impastoed 1950s' paintings suffused with 'a latent luminosity', to the defiantly original pictures of his final decades: luminous explorations of scruffy local allotments with their ramshackle huts and glistening white picket fences, and transcendant yet acutely observed panoramas of inner city Leeds with its curious mix of high-tech development and unglamorous, sometimes bizarre local details.

A Baroque Vision
Between 1979 and 1982 Nicholas Hagger wrote three letters to the eminent literary critic Christopher Ricks about his poetic identity, and Ricks agreed with his final view that his verse blends the Romantic and Classical traditions within the Baroque tradition. In 1979 and again in 1982 Ricks asked him to select 30 poems. Forty years later A Baroque Vision presents a selection that shows his Baroque roots. Part One presents 30 poems written before 1979, and Part Two adds 70 verse selections written between 1979 and 2019. A Baroque Vision presents 100 verse selections drawn from 50 volumes of his poems, verse plays and masques. The Baroque style, which can be found in all European countries, c...
A View of Epping Forest
Epping Forest was given to the public in 1878. It has many historical and literary associations involving, for example, Harold II, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Shakespeare, Tennyson, Clare and Churchill. Nicholas Hagger came to Epping Forest during the war. As a boy he knew Sir William Addison, long recognised as an authority on the Forest, and saw Churchill speak in his village in 1945. He grew up against the background of the Forest and visited it regularly when he was living elsewhere. He returned and became the proprietor of three private schools in the area, founding his own school in 1989. The Forest has come into many of his poems and other works. In Part One of this book he conveys the h...
