Exploring Penda's Fen, a 1974 BBC film that achieved mythic status.
In 1974, the BBC broadcast the film Penda's Fen, leaving audiences
mystified and spellbound. "Make no mistake. We had a major work of
television last night," The Times declared the next morning.
Written by the playwright and classicist David Rudkin, the film
follows Stephen, an 18-year-old boy, whose identity, sexuality, and
suffocating nationalism unravels through a series of strange
visions. After its original broadcast, Penda's Fen vanished into
unseen mythic status, with only a single rebroadcast in 1990
sustaining its cult following. With a DVD release by the BFI in
2016, Penda's Fen has now become totemic for those interested in
Britain's deep history, folklore, and landscape. Of Mud and Flame
brings together writers, artists, and historians to excavate and
explore this unique cornerstone of Britain's uncanny archive.
Contributors include David Rudkin, Sukhdev Sandhu, Roger Luckhurst,
Gareth Evan, Adam Scovell, Bethany Whalley, Carl Phelpstead, David
Ian Rabey, David Rolinson, Craig Wallace, Daniel O'Donnell Smith,
William Fowler, Yvonne Salmon, Andy W. Smith, Carolyne Larrington,
John Harle, Timothy J. Jarvis, Tom White, Daniel Eltringham, Joseph
Brooker, Gary Budden
