A TSN special issue for our times: The Turner Treasury

The Turner Treasury has been an occasional feature of TSN since 1988, following the Editor’s invitation to members to send in Turner references which they had come across in their everyday reading. Art historical works were to be excluded but poetry, fiction, plays, travel books, biographies, letters and journals were all acceptable.

Many fascinating and unusual passages have been contributed and, in this most extraordinary and challenging of years, the Editor decided that it would be good to unite these in a single special issue of TSN, with commentaries and illustrations, for the entertainment of present members. Reflecting the worldwide readership of TSN, not all the writers assembled here are British; there are also American, Japanese, French and German voices.

The extracts are presented chronologically, taking the reader from Turner’s own lifetime into the present century. Recurrent themes become apparent, such as Turner’s ability to baffle, irritate or frustrate his viewers as well as to impress and enchant them; indeed, this anthology could be subtitled ‘Tales of Mystery and Imagination’.
