Description
The Invention of Essex
The Making of an English County
By Tim Burrows
A county both famous and infamous.
It’s the stuff of tabloid headlines and reality TV. However beyond the sensationalist headlines there is another Essex – a place of marshy islands, utopian dreams, artists and radicals and heroes and villains.
Essex, as the author reveals, has been the stage for some of our most enduring national stories, where the peasants revolted in 1381, the Empire Windrush landed and the birthplace of TOWIE.
Bringing together history, a memoir and cultural critique, the Invention of Essex is the story of England’ most written about county.
With over 25 black & white illustrations and maps.
