Chandler, John Wessex Images
Stroud Alan Sutton 1990 0862997399 First Edition Trade Paperback Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Some light cover wear, internally a near fine copy. 192pp, colour & b&w illustrations. 230x245mm. 0750903554. 650g. 'Wessex, the inspiration of writers from the ninth century to the present, has at its heart the chalk downland which forms a major part of Wiltshire & Dorset. The solitude of its downs is interrupted by the valleys of famous trout streams, along which quiet villages of flint & thatch are strung like beads. Fringing the western flank of this country of chalk is one of heavy clay, where former woodland has for centuries offered rich pasture. And in the valleys & on the clay a network of comfortable old towns has grown & prospered. Wessex Images explores the contrasts & character of the district in both words & pictures: through the descriptions of writers who have visited or lived in the area from the time when King Alfred was its ruler to the onset of the First World War (talents as various as Asser & Geoffrey of Monmouth, Michael Drayton & John Aubrey, Jane Austen & Daniel Defoe, Richard Jefferies & Thomas Hardy); & through archive photographs of Victorian & Edwardian Wessex life, & the contemporary record made by photographers Tim Hawkins, David Tavener & others. The resulting assortment reflects the variety of the region itself: dreadful poverty described alongside extravagant wealth, praise & celebration tempered with squalor & scorn. It is certain to fascinate & delight everyone who knows & enjoys the landscape of Wessex.'
