Hey… OVER HERE!
This stunning little number is our revamped magazine, with a new design, new size and new stories. It’s a double whammy with two themes:
GUTS OF ALBION
This half of the magazine tunnels into the cultural forces that have shaped our island, digging under the skin of Britain to understand it better.
George Robson travels to Great Yarmouth to explore the past, present and future of one of our last working textile factories. Deputy editor Wang Sum Luk examines the modern folk revival, and how your favourite authors were inspired by translated literature. We hear stories of witchcraft, faeries, and a sacred shrine to the Virgin Mary.
Meanwhile, I visit artist Ben Edge and consider his work through the lens of legendary epics, while renowned author and essayist Paul Kingsnorth searches for England’s half-forgotten myths.
MERRIE ENGLAND
We believe earnestly – and it’s the only earnest thing about this theme – that difficult times demand pleasure. Welcome to our version of MERRIE ENGLAND: a utopia with distinctly British flavours and lashings of saucy winks.
Barney Pau’s jelly-themed editorial celebrates what must be our most ridiculous dessert, that wobbly gobble that is equal parts hypnotic and revolting.
Elsewhere, photographer Xavo Buendia takes us to the bonfires of Lewes in dramatic black and white. We indulge in royal feasts, and climb mountains wearing Victorian garb. Filmmaker Emma Swinton teaches us how to heal our witch wound; while artist Tia Mirza and the RSPB send us birdwatching; and our editor ventures into Soho’s salacious parts to talk erotic undies.
This theme, and the whole magazine, embrace the power of community celebration in our age of alienation, because having fun can be an act of defiance.
