I'm delighted to announce that next Monday, 22nd November, my guest on The Forum Live will be Dr Annebella Pollen, a reader in the History of Art and Design at the University of Brighton.
Annebella is the author of Nudism in a Cold Climate: The Visual Culture of Naturists in Mid-20th-Century Britain to be published in early December. It uses the print and visual culture of Naturism (including information and material gained from the British Naturism archive) to chart fifty years of rapid social change in Britain. From the tiny intellectual beginnings, when nudism was mostly populated by artists and writers, psychiatrists and physicians, through the expansion of the practice to 40,000 nudists by the start of the Second World War, and the culture clashes of the decades beyond.
