Southwold
Southwold is a nostalgic place where childhood memories are made from sunny holidays beside the sea, colored beach huts lining the shore and the delicate pier straddling the waves to the North Sea. This book focuses on the social and artistic elements that enrich the community, featuring everyone from Shakespeare to Damien Hirst. --
The Rings of Saturn
‘Sebald is the Joyce of the 21st Century’ The Times What begins as the record of W. G. Sebald’s own journey on foot through coastal East Anglia, from Lowestoft to Bungay, becomes the conductor of evocations of people and cultures past and present. From Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne and Conrad, to fishing fleets, skulls and silkworms, the result is an intricately patterned and haunting book on the transience of all things human. ‘A novel of ideas with a difference: it is nothing but ideas... Formally dexterous, fearlessly written (why shouldn't an essay be a novel?), and unremittingly arcane; by the end I was in tears’ Teju Cole, Guardian

Making Waves
From Turner to Damien Hirst via Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Stanley Spencer and Lucian Freud Southwold has drawn some of the biggest names in British art and a wealth of distinctive talents. Most have found magic here. A few have noted something darker. The port-resort with brewery, pier and lighthouse at its heart is a creative beacon: Philip Wilson Steer, fresh from France, virtually invented British Impressionism in the adjoining artists' summer colony of Walberswick from 1884 - the year pioneering photographer P.H. Emerson moved to Southwold. Ian Collins also reveals how modern British art so nearly had a Suffolk rather than a Cornish air. Most of all this book lovingly portrays a very special place through the eyes and lives of artists, both resident and visiting. It revels in waves of art taking in everything from serious treasures to cartoon postcards: an essential companion for all lovers of East Anglia's first resor"
Orwell in Southwold
George Orwell first came to live in Southwold in 1921, beginning an association with the town which lasted more than twenty years. He lived at four addresses in the town and this book provides the first full, authoritative account of Orwell's connection with Southwold, its people and the books which he wrote while living there. Using original archival research, Binns reveals new material about the two local women with whom Orwell became infatuated, together with previously unpublished photographs of them. Apart from untangling the complicated chronology of Orwell's association with Southwold, this account examines the impact which the town made upon his writing from his first book, Down and Out in Paris and London, to his last, Nineteen Eighty-Four. It also includes a detailed analysis of his satirical account of the town in A Clergyman's Daughter. Orwell in Southwold contains 30 photographs and two maps, showing the local sites important to Orwell both in Southwold and in the surrounding Suffolk countryside.
