Description

Essex is neither part of East Anglia nor one of the Home Counties; it contains both radical and conservative elements and is therefore open to all possibilities.

An often maligned county, Essex’s recent history has been the subject of stereotypes, neatly surmised by Spitting Image’s anthem, Essex is Crap.

Radical ESSEX seeks to tell another story, exploring the less-known innovations and creativity of this English county. It examines living practices from Christian communities, retreats for Tolstoyan princes and the first practices of naturism in England, to radical University development, and social working estates in East Tilbury and Silver End.

Radical ESSEX accompanies an ongoing project that re-examines the county in relation to radicalism in thought, lifestyle, politics and architecture. It sheds light on the vibrant, pioneering thinking of the late 19th and 20th centuries, celebrating the crucial role Essex has played in the history of British Modernism and its utopian ideologies.

This book features a new suite of specially commissioned images by British photographer, Catherine Hyland. She has been shortlisted for numerous photography awards, and her work is featured in magazines such as Creative Review, and ICON.
