Description
Penda's Fen, a 1974 BBC film, has become a cult classic, leaving audiences mystified and spellbound. Written by playwright and classicist David Rudkin, the film follows an 18-year-old boy as his identity, sexuality, and nationalism unravel through a series of strange visions.
For decades, Penda's Fen has been a topic of fascination, with only a single rebroadcast in 1990 sustaining its cult following. The film's unique blend of history, folklore, and landscape has made it a totemic figure for those interested in Britain's deep past. This sourcebook brings together writers, artists, and historians to explore and excavate this cornerstone of Britain's uncanny archive.
Contributors include a range of experts, including David Rudkin, Sukhdev Sandhu, and Roger Luckhurst, who share their insights and perspectives on this enigmatic film. With its unique blend of art, history, and culture, Of Mud and Flame is a must-have for anyone interested in Penda's Fen and its enduring legacy.
