Southwold is a nostalgic place where childhood memories are made from sunny holidays beside the sea, coloured beach huts lining the shore & the delicate pier straddling the waves of the North Sea. To some it is nothing short of an earthly paradise
- indeed it was Southwold that inspired William Morris to write his epic poem ” The Earthly Paradise”. ” Southwold
- An Earthly Paradise” is a collection of vividly written essays that take the reader through the evolution of the town from a mediaeval fishing community, prosperous enough to build a magnificent church, to its modern identity as a popular, yet unspoilt, holiday town. However its history is a troubled one. The sea, despite its changing moods has been the only constant in a past in which fire, famine & plague have devastated the town. A rich treasure of silver & silver gilt lies on the bottom of the coast of Southwold. It is a reminder of one of the fiercest fights in British history. The Battle of Sole Bay was fought against the Dutch in 1672 & the bloody confrontation is fully described & illustrated with contemporary paintings & drawings. The greatest genius of English literature, William Shakespeare heads an extraordinary cast of writers to have visited Southwold, including Algernon Swinburne, Thomas Hardy, Walter de la Mare, George Orwell, P. D. James & Esther Freud. J. M. W. Turner, one of Britain`s most celebrated artists, is known to have visited Southwold on many occasions & Geoffrey Munn has, for the first time, identified a number of drawings of Southwold by Turner. Whistler, Sickert, Wilson Steer, Spencer, & Damien Hirst have all followed in Turner`s footsteps. The text is lavishly illustrated with their work & all the 160 plates are in colour.
