About This Book

The author presents a series of recollections and essays that combine personal memory with historical and topographical notes about the eastern counties. Individual chapters profile villages and towns, local characters and celebrated natives, religious dissent and clerical life, political debate, and artistic and literary associations; landscapes, dialect, folklore, and antiquarian curiosities recur throughout. The tone mixes anecdote, biographical sketch, and cultural commentary to offer a lively, often gossipy survey of regional institutions, notable events, and the social texture of county life.
