London Baroque
Rich and Robert first began to write London Baroque in 2010, as a walk under the triumphal arches erected for the procession of King James I through the streets of London. Since then it has grown in a myriad of ways, encrusting itself with myth and fact, adorning itself with pieces of coral, silver, ivory, mahogany, marble, tortoiseshell, amber, and mother-of-pearl.
We first published London Baroque as a limited edition hardback in 2018. It is a collection of stories that wander uninvited through seventeenth-century London, weaving in and out of fact and fiction, processional arches, witch-woods, moon-prisons, West End squares and other geometries, in a hunt for Baroque thought.
