A Vision of England
This collection of essays was prompted by the extensive refurbishment of the galleries displayingNorwich Castle Museum's outstanding collection of Norwich School pictures, which re-opened in April 2012, and the associated technical examination at the Hamilton Kerr Institute, Cambridge, of many of the museum's paintings by John Crome and John Sell Cotman (as well as the conservation of some of them). The book deals specifically with oil paintings, with watercolours featuring only marginally. It aims not to provide a history of the Norwich School artists, but to suggest 'fresher ways of looking' at their work.

The Way Under Our Feet
Walking is one of the simplest things we do as humans. It’s how most of us experience life. In The Way Under Our Feet, Graham Usher conveys how exhilarating it is to walk into the depths of our humanity. We become more ready to recognize the needs as well as the joys of others; we sift our thoughts; we seek to heal our battered world, even as we glory in the beauty of nature; we find ourselves companying with our three mile an hour God. ‘This is a lovely book, full of light, grace and meaning. Usher celebrates his passion for walking by exploring religious texts and stories, but this by no means confines his thoughts. We are drawn by secular texts, too: Macfarlane sits alongside Kierkegaard; Thoreau and Walden alongside T. S. Eliot. Through them all, we learn why walking is so unspeakably good for heart, soul and body.’ DAME FIONA REYNOLDS, MASTER OF EMMANUEL COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE, AUTHOR OF THE FIGHT FOR BEAUTY ‘Wonderful. Offers highly original and striking observations combined with apposite, moving and often humorous personal anecdotes. A classic, catching a genuine and humble holiness.’ BISHOP DAVID WILBOURNE

The Norwhich artists managed to preserve their British individualism yet, somehow, there grew up between them a bond which has not only held the School together but enhanced its prestige and increased its stature as the years have gone by. This book covers the many mediums used by the artists other than oils citing, for example, impressive still life studies, fine architectural watercolours, delicate line and wash drawings and pastels.
