Publisher's Synopsis

The nature of Constable's upbringing in a Suffolk village is shown with a new clarity and intensity from the 280 surviving letters he exchanged with his parents and brothers and sisters. This is a most revealing volume, strippingaway many of the misconceptions we may had entertained about Constable and incidentally providing a vivid picture of life in an English village in the early years of the nineteenth century.

About the Publisher

Suffolk Records Society

Boydell & Brewer Ltd was formed in 1978. It merged two companies, Boydell Press and D.S. Brewer, whose founders, Richard Barber and Derek Brewer, were themselves scholars - Brewer a Chaucer specialist and subsequently Professor of English and Master of Emmanuel College, Barber a medieval historian and Arthurian. Richard Barber is still a highly active scholar and continues to publish eminently in his own right and offers a vast amount of knowledge and experience to Boydell & Brewer.
