East Anglia in Verse and Prose Edited and with an Introduction by Angus Wilson.
To Angus Wilson the East Anglia of Norfolk, Suffolk and modern Cambridgeshire is a world of continuing enchantment. In this collection of verse and occasional prose he takes us from the wild North-Seascape to the busy and varied rural lives, both comic and tragic, of the East Anglians.
It is a book of contrasts: between aristocratic households and rural villages; between the religious heart of the land and the bawdy irreverence of those who work it. Always present is the sense of history, of a world still touched by the memory of Boudicca, Cromwell, the Enclosures, a world of Roman and Anglo-Saxon invaders and modern defenders.
Here Angus Wilson has made his home, and now, with this collection, he celebrates the richness of East Anglia, and its meaning for the individual writer, whether in poetry or in prose.
