I’m very proud to have an article in this interesting and diverse selection of essays that explores the relationship between landscape, place, and the British visionary tradition.
My contribution focuses on the film Penda’s Pen (1974), written by David Rudkin and directed by Alan Clark. Entitled “The Magical Praxis and Politics of Penda’s Fen“, it explores the film’s depiction of magick as a means of political resistance and suggests how its themes are maybe even more relevant today than in the 1970s.
Copies can be obtained from the publisher, Temporal Boundary Press, alongside other interesting publications.
Penda’s Fen was also the topic of OEITH #119: A Once and Future King.
