First published in 1952, John Constable and the Fishers is based on
original letters which have never been published in full before.
These have been woven into a connected narrative dealing with the
friendship which existed between Constable and various members of
the Fisher family, more particularly the Bishop of Salisbury (a
personal friend of George III who entrusted him with the education
of Princess Charlotte as heiress to the throne) and his nephew the
Archdeacon of Berkshire. The Archdeacon's letters give a picture of
life in a cathedral closed and country vicarages, reminiscent of
Trollope's Barchester and Thomas Hardy's Wessex. In return
Constable confides his ideals and ambitions; and as Mr. Grigson
suggests in his introduction, the encouragement he received from
the Fishers may have had a decisive effect on the future of
landscape art. The letters are fully annotated and are illustrated
with connected works done by Constable. This book will of interest
to students of history, art and literature.
